Eligible Veterans who served in the Persian Gulf, Afghanistan, or Iraq during certain dates may receive a $100 bonus for each month they served in those locations, up to a maximum of $1,000. An eligible Veteran may combine their service bonuses for a maximum payment of $1,500. To see the eligibility requirements or to apply online for the bonus, applicants should go to Veteransbonus.ohio.gov.
