MID-OHIO VALLEY (November 28, 2016) - In another example of how Ohio aims to serve those who served, members of the U.S. Armed Forces can receive the Ohio Veterans Bonus, which pays between $500 and $1,500.
 
The bonus pays $100 a month to veterans who served in Afghanistan after October 7, 2001, up to a maximum of $1,000. For veterans who served in other parts of the world during this time period, the payment is $50 a month up to a $500 maximum.
 
Eligible veterans must have been Ohio residents at the time of their entry into the service, and must be Ohio residents at the time they apply.
 
The current bonus program extends to medically discharged veterans, and family members of those killed in action or who died from disease as a result of service in Afghanistan.
 
As of October 2016, the Ohio Veterans Bonus program had paid 91,060 claims amounting to more than $74.3 million. Ohio Veterans Bonus applications are available at OhioVet.gov.
