The "Bonus Army" who demanded that they be paid a bonus for their service to compensate for the wages they would have been able to earn if they had been allowed to remain stateside and work instead of going off to fight in the war. In 1924, after several years of lobbying, congress finally awarded the WWI veterans "adjusted universal compensation"-a bonus-in the form of government bonds that would collect interest over two decades and be paid out no earlier than 1945. Unfortunately the Great Depression hit in in 1929 and the veterans needed the money NOW. Something around 17,000 veterans (plus many of them families which swelled the total to around 43,000) traveled to Washington, DC. and set up camps (named "Hoovervilles" in derision of the President). Eventually Hoover ordered the Army to evict them from DC. His handling of the Bonus Army had major political impact on Hoover and contributed to him loosing in a landslide to F.D.R. in the next election.
The Bonus Act was replaced by service certificates awarded to veterans under the World War Adjusted Compensation Act of 1924 with bonds issued by the Treasury Department in denominations of $50. The bonds paid interest at an annual rate of 3 percent from June 15, 1936, to June 15, 1945, higher than rates available to savings accounts. Amounts less than $50 were paid immediately. The bonds could not be sold, but the Treasury would redeem them for cash at any time after June 15, 1936. Most veterans redeemed their bonds promptly. The Treasury issued bonds worth $1.745 billion initially. Between June 1935 and June 1936, 80% of the bonds issued had been redeemed. The Treasury paid more than $800 million in cash in the last 2 weeks of 1936 and almost $700 million more in the next year. The cash payments constituted an efficient economic stimulus, since the program required little government administration, the monies were likely to be spent without delay, and the entire process did not require the long lead time of a public works program.[5]
The GI Bill allowed paid for veterans to go to school, buy a house, or start a business.

No. You have a right to be paid for work that was assigned and completed. A bonus is beyond that, and is not a right.
