(330 ILCS 30/2) (from Ch. 126 1/2, par. 57.52)
Sec. 2.
Every person who has served on active duty with the armed forces of
the United States on or after January 1, 1961 and prior to such time as
Congress declares such persons ineligible for the Viet Nam Service Medal is
entitled to receive compensation of $100 for such service if (a) he had
been a resident of the State of Illinois for at least 12 months immediately
preceding the time he entered such service, (b) he is still in active
service, is honorably separated or discharged from such service, has been
furloughed to a reserve or has been retired, and (c) he has received the
Viet Nam Service Medal. Service in the merchant marine is not service in
the armed forces for purposes of this Act.
No payment may be made under this Section to any person who, though in
such service, did civilian work at civilian pay or who has received from
another State a bonus or compensation of like nature so provided by this
Act.
