The bonus may not be paid if the person has been incarcerated for conviction of a felony or violated the Selective Service Act. No bonus is taxable or subject to the claim of any creditor. The bill creates the Veterans Service Bonus Fund for the payment of bonuses to veterans. The fund is administered by the Division of Veterans Affairs. The bill outlines a process and time in which bonuses must be paid.
Persons making false statements relating to a claim for a bonus are guilty of a class A misdemeanor.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
