Explanation of Benefits
Available to all Life Members
As the name suggest, Legacy Life Membership
enables you to leave a legacy to your Post and
Department, as funds will be broken down yearly
and given to the Post and Department, but there
are also benefits to you personally. The
information below breaks it down into the 3
levels of Legacy, (Bronze, Silver and Gold).
In order to be a Legacy Life Member, you first
have to be a Life Member.

Each year, your post will receive two membership
rebates for your membership. One for being a
“Life Member” and another for being a “Legacy
Life Member”.
Unlike the Life Membership where the Post no
longer is the recipient of an annual dues rebate
when a member passes, the Post continues to
receive a return of dues from National for
Legacy members who pass thus leaving a lasting
positive impact on the Post‘s financial well
being. The Legacy Membership is tax deductible
to the maximum extent allowed by law. Like the
Life Memberships, an installment plan is
available. This is a great way to continue
giving to the Post and to VFW long after you and
I are gone and have left the Post to the next
generation of veterans.
You can get with the Post Adjutant for becoming
a Legacy Member, or go to VFW.org and setup a
payment plan to have this paid in four quarterly
payments.
