Pennsylvania SB173 grants Korean Armed Forces veterans residing in Pennsylvania the same rights and benefits as Pennsylvania military veterans.
Pennsylvania SB173 amends Title 51 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to include veterans of the Korean Armed Forces among those eligible for Pennsylvania military veterans' benefits. This bill defines an "eligible veteran of the Korean Armed Forces" as any member of the Republic of Korea Armed Forces who served on active duty in the Vietnam War between January 9, 1962, and May 7, 1975, and received an honorable discharge or equivalent discharge from military service. It allows Commonwealth agencies to request supporting documentation to verify eligibility for benefits or recognition.
