Army National Guard hasn't paid out enlistment bonuses to thousands of soldiers, alarming House lawmakers

• House lawmakers criticized the National Guard over enlistment bonuses owed to more than 13,000 soldiers.
• Nearly 4,000 soldiers have since left the service without bonuses, which can total up to $20,000.
• Due in part to staffing issues and system outages, the delay comes amid the Army's recruiting crisis.

A bipartisan group of House lawmakers is demanding answers from the Army National Guard on its plans to pay delinquent enlistment bonuses to the thousands of soldiers who are owed.
