Persian Gulf Bonus Program Extended for Pennsylvanians Who Served

On April 24, 2006, House Bill 1820 was signed into law as Act 29 of 2006 and was amended October, 30 2015 through the enactment of Act 50 extending the application period to August, 31 2018. This Bill establishes the Persian Gulf Conflict Veterans Benefit Act. On November 7, 2006, Pennsylvania voters gave overwhelming approval to a ballot question to fund the program. The bond issue created a fund for the payment of compensation to, or on behalf of, eligible current and former members of the United States Armed Forces, a reserve component of the United States Armed Forces, or the Pennsylvania National Guard.
