Kansas Office of Veterans Affairs estimated a state bonus for World War II veterans at the same rate as the federal program would cost about 227.2 million dollars excluding admin costs. The plan bases payments on 200,000 eligible veterans at one dollar per domestic day and 1.28 per overseas day with averages of 20.14 months domestic and 15.45 overseas. A survey of 3,000 veterans showed 92% favored the bonus, 5% opposed, 2% undecided, while veterans groups supported the idea in recent state conventions.
