Congress and the Obama administration tried to fix it a couple years ago, but soldiers in California are still getting collection notices after they were given cash bonuses for reenlisting, but then asked for the money back. The military offered California National Guard soldiers a large bonus to serve a few years longer, but a couple years later, thousands of current and retired servicemen and women were told they needed to repay some or all of their bonuses.
