Iowa Lawmakers Hit Viet Nam Bonus Equity Debate
Iowa State Rep. B Joseph Rinas proposes a $350 flat bonus for all veterans who served between August 4 1964 and June 30 1973 to correct perceived inequities in a current plan that pays up to $500 based on time spent in country and home. He argues that combat veterans deserve the larger share and notes the bill would award smaller incentives to those who fought in Southeast Asia while a career service member could still reach the maximum without combat exposure. Rinas cites figures and maps out a $28 million pool with $1.4 million left for disabled veterans and survivors, aiming to simplify administration and to focus aid on those most in need.
