North Dakota / State / 2005 Session
Ch. 317, L. 2005 (Senate Bill 2146), codified as N.D.C.C. ch. 37-28 The last North Dakota veterans bonus stopped taking applications on June 30, 2021
Chapter 37-28 paid fifty dollars a month for domestic service, one hundred a month for foreign service with an expeditionary medal or campaign badge, two thousand five hundred dollars where a Purple Heart was earned in the mobilization, and five thousand dollars to the beneficiary of a veteran who died as a result of active service, for service between December 5, 1992 and June 30, 2021. Section 37-28-03 allowed applications to be filed with the adjutant general through June 30, 2021, or for a soldier mobilized on that date not later than six months after the end of the mobilization. Both dates have passed. The two older bonus chapters closed earlier: 37-27 on December 31, 1994 and 37-26 six months after the end of its period of service. All three chapters are still printed in the Century Code with no indication on their face that the windows have shut, which is why the catalog carries an entry whose job is to say the programs are closed.
