Casper Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Greetings,One war veteran's simple question is about to bear fruit for 200,000 of his fellow Ohio veterans.In 2007, U.S. Army Capt. Thomas Germano, a Mentor native then serving in Iraq, asked my office in a letter if the state offered financial benefits to veterans of recent wars. The state did not at the time, but Capt. Germano's question prompted me to ask the Legislature to ask voters to approve a bonus payment to veterans in salute of their service, just as Ohioans had done after World Wars I and II, Korea and Vietnam. Last November, more than seven in 10 Ohioans approved this bonus.Today, state leaders and I announced that applications are now being accepted for the veterans bonus.Veterans can download the application or get more information at: www.veteransbonus.ohio.govEligible veterans who served in the Persian Gulf, Iraq or Afghanistan wars may receive $100 for each month of active duty service up to $1,000. Eligible veterans serving on active duty elsewhere in the world during these wars may receive $50 per month of service up to a maximum of $500. An eligible veteran may combine their service bonuses for a maximum payment of $1,500. Family members of deceased veterans may also be eligible for compensation.Notary service for applications will be available at all of Ohio's more than 200 county clerks of courts locations.In addition, assistant attorneys general in my offices in Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Youngstown and Toledo will provide the needed notarization on veterans' applications free of cost.Information on those locations is available at www.OhioAttorneyGeneral.gov/VeteransBonusIf you know someone who might be eligible for this bonus, please forward this message to that person. And, again, please visit www.veteransbonus.ohio.gov for specific information about the application process and eligibility.It is very gratifying to see Capt. Germano's suggestion from 2007 finally becoming reality, just as it is gratifying to see Ohio voters reward the service of their fellow citizens.Sincerely,Richard CordrayOhio Attorney GeneralOhio Attorney General | www.OhioAttorneyGeneral.gov | 30 E.

chevysoldier Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Wait... there was an Ohio bonus for Vietnam??? Never heard of it.doesn't surprise me. Ohio has always been one of the top states for military service, since the civil war. Seems to follow that Ohio would have the bonus now and back for Vietnam.

C-bus Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Let's see...... my tax dollars that usually go to shit-bag leaches have the opportunity to go in the pockets of someone who left their home, job, family and dog in order to VOLUNTEER risking his/her life to defend me and my way of life... Please accept that money as a tiny piece of what I owe you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've found several web sites that list the other states that have passed similar bills...but MI is not listed.The link you provided just lists the bill, and it's status as being introduced to the Senate...which is not the same as being a 'law'.
