Verified Answer :

During the early 1930s, the main goal of the Bonus Army was to pressure the Hoover administration to "(4) support the early payment of money
promised to veterans," since Hoover was famously dragging his feet on such payments. 

Answer;

-Support the early payment of money promised to veterans

Explanation;

-The Bonus Army consisted of a group of around 43,000 people, among which 17,000 WW1 veterans with their families who gathered during the spring and summer of 1932 in Washington D.C.

-They called themselves the “Bonus Expeditionary Force,” set up camps around the city and waited for Congress to decide on whether or not they were going to pay out their promised war bonuses immediately.

-Hoover's public image and approval ratings, already low due to his inability to adequately address the Great Depression, sank even lower after the Bonus Army March in July 1932.
