Persian Gulf Veterans Compensation
Pennsylvania voters gave overwhelming approval to
funding for the Persian Gulf Conflict Veterans Compensation Program
when they voted in the general election on November 7.
 This program will provide payments to veterans of
 Operation Desert Storm and Desert Shield (August 1990 to August 1991).
 Implementation of the new program will require consideration
of regulations and various administrative actions.

Applications are available at your local Veterans Affairs Office.
