Since July 2018, about 190,000 members have been processed through this feature.
The American Legion’s online transmittal processing feature through MyLegion.org allows posts to process their membership in batches and pay for membership online through e-checks. This electronic payment method eliminates the need for post officers to send the national/department portion of the three-part membership cards and paper checks to department headquarters.
Since July 2018, about 190,000 members have been processed through this feature.
A few key benefits to using the online transmittal processing feature include:
- Membership counts are added to the National Target Date membership report.
- Membership counts are immediately added to the MyLegion Post/District Membership reports and available for departments to add to their membership reports.
- Members are immediately suppressed from any renewal notices, such as direct mail and email.
- Once post officers submit payment it prevents members from renewing online or duplicating payments.
- Posts save money by not having to pay shipping costs for a paper transmittal to department.
