Paid Up For Life PUFL Membership

We are getting one-step closer to putting together a PUFL membership for the Sons of The American Legion. The results of our survey are our members would like a Detachment maintained Paid Up For Life membership option. Our Membership Committee has collected data on other Detachment run PUFLs, and Date of Birth information to assist in the development of the program.

Currently we lack the number of date of birth records we require to complete our program, your assistance will help. Make sure your squadron has recorded and submitted the DOB information for your members, you may use the DOB Information Form, available on the National Sons web site, or the Change of Address link on the National Legion web site

HONORARY LIFE MEMBERSHIP

Honorary life membership is something that can be awarded by a Squadron/Post to an individual for a specific deed or act. He must be an existing SAL member and eligible for membership in accordance with the established eligibility criteria as outlined in the SAL National Constitution. Do not confuse this with any Detachment paid for life programs. This is only a Squadron/Post award, where authorized. To report this information, you can submit a member data form and mark the appropriate block “Honorary Life”. The record will be coded at National Headquarters. When the annual membership cards & registers are printed, a code “H” will appear on the membership register that denotes “Honorary Life”. Older versions of the member data form do not contain this block. In that case, just write on the form wherever space is permitting. Squadron/Post Adjutants should sign this form to confirm this status.
If awarded, the Squadron is responsible for submitting the annual membership dues accordingly. If the Squadron does not submit the membership dues, the responsibility reverts to the individual. The life program is not transferable to any other Post/Squadron. Caution should be exercised in
awarding this award, as the Squadron is responsible for accounting for this action for the life of the individual.
