It is a membership you purchase with a lump sum that makes you a Paid-Up-For-Life member of the American Legion. Joining the over 200,000 who've already become Paid-Up-For-Life members assures you of all the benefits of American Legion membership for life, with no additional future payments, no matter how much the cost of your benefits may go up.

Any member in good standing (with dues paid for the current calendar year) is eligible. You can only purchase the program through your post. Just contact your post adjutant or finance officer.

A Paid-Up-For-Life membership is purchased, while a life membership is honorary and provided by the members post.
