Bigger Wyoming Guard referral bonuses, more referrers

Beginning July 1, 2026, the adjutant general can set referral bonuses up to $1,000 per referral, paid only after the person you referred completes accession. If you are a recruit who refers someone, you must complete your own accession before you can be paid. Who can refer: current Wyoming Guard members, Wyoming Guard veterans, current Wyoming Military Department employees, and recruits starting enlistment. The program stays in place through July 1, 2028, and payments depend on available funds. The law provides $250,000 for bonuses from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2028; unused money reverts on June 30, 2028.
