Veterans Legislation: State

HF1295: Benefits Extension for Hmong Vets

State veteran program eligibility is being sought for Hmong U.S.
citizens who fought as allies in the Vietnam War.

"Hmong living in Laos and Vietnam were actively recruited to serve with the U.S. military during the Vietnam War. Among them, was the father-in-law of Rep. Cy Thao (DFL-St. Paul) who testified (translated by Thao) before the House Veterans Affairs Division in support of a bill that would make these allies eligible for some financial help through the State Solders Assistance Program."
