Veterans Bonus

Sparked by an inquiry from an Ohio soldier serving in Iraq, Richard Cordray proposed a constitutional amendment to provide compensation to Ohio veterans of the conflicts in the Persian Gulf, Afghanistan and Iraq. Ohioans previously approved similar bonuses after World Wars I, II, Korea and Vietnam.

The Ohio House and Senate voted to put the amendment on the Nov. 3, 2009, ballot, where it was approved by more than seven in 10 voters.

The Ohio Department of Veterans Services will be overseeing how the bonus is distributed. If you have questions, please contact DVS at (888) 387-6446.
