Minnesota paid a service bonus to eligible veterans, currently serving members, and beneficiaries for service from 11 September 2001 through 30 August 2021. Qualifying campaign medals can bring the payment to $1,200. The application window closed on 30 June 2024. Applications that arrived before the window closed are still processed.
The application is closed. If you already applied, check status through the MDVA account you used (the same login as Minnesota GI Bill or Veteran Owned Business Certification) or call LinkVet at 1-888-546-5838. Late applicants should ask a County Veteran Service Officer whether any remaining path exists.
Your DD214 or other discharge papers, proof of a qualifying campaign medal if you are claiming the $1,200 amount, a W-9, and proof of Minnesota residency if MDVA asks for it.
