Fire Won't Delay Iowa Vietnam Era Veterans Bonus
DES MOINES AP The fire at the Military Personnel Records center near Overland Missouri will affect a minority of Iowa Vietnam era veterans eligible for the state bonus but will not delay the October 1 application date. Iowa Veterans Compensation Board secretary Ray Kaufman said Missouri reports are incomplete but hope a full damage assessment within about 30 days. He noted about 70 to 90 percent of army personnel records for those served before 1960 and back to 1912 were destroyed. The Iowa bonus covers veterans not paid if they served in Vietnam before July 1 1968 unless discharged after 1960 and may hinder claims if veterans lack records to verify service after July 1 1968.
