Legionnaire Insurance Trust Programs
EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT YOUR NO-COST LEGIONCARE COVERAGE:
Wouldn’t you like to save money on the peace-of-mind needs you already buy? Or know exactly what you’re entitled to as a veteran?
Here’s how …
**We’ve all said, “There ought to be a better way” about something.
Well, 40 years ago, that’s exactly what a group of Legionnaires did. They all had families they loved, and of course each had purchased separately the medical plans they needed to protect their loved ones.
But … what if they pooled their buying power? What if they could pool the resources of their entire Department of The American Legion? And what if other Departments in other states came on board?
The idea took off like wildfire.
Today — 40 years later! — what that means for you is twofold: 1) affordable group rates on high-quality insurance programs you already have — or need; and 2) a place to go for answers about all the things your military service entitles you to.
From doctor visits to Medicare supplements to using the VA health system and even pension questions, here’s your personal Legionnaire “go to resource” for your family’s needs.
We encourage you to use your Legionnaire options to their fullest extent!
Some facts you should know:
- Founded in 1966, the LIT has been serving Legionnaires for 40 years
- The LIT serves 48 American Legion Departments
- Over 1,000,000 Legionnaires are enrolled
- Over $400 million has been paid in claims to Legionnaires
- Each program includes a free 30-day review, so you can take your time to look over each plan BEFORE you buy it.
- Each program guarantees your satisfaction, or your money back.
- Each Department participating in the LIT has its own elected representative called a Trust Director. This person actively oversees the Department’s participation in the Legionnaire Insurance Trust, so you always have a state contact working for you.
In addition, your participating Department of The American Legion has arranged on your behalf $1,000.00 of Accidental Death Coverage at No Cost to You. This entitlement is nearly four times the value of the $255 Social Security burial benefit anyone receiving Social Security gets – and it pays in addition to it.
American Legion Hearing Benefits (Amplifon Hearing Health Care)
Up to 95% of hearing loss can be treated with hearing aids. As an American Legion member, you and eligible family members can access hearing-care discounts through Amplifon Hearing Health Care (formerly HearPO).
- Nationwide network of credentialed hearing-care providers.
- Low-price guarantee on many hearing aids.
- Risk-free 60-day trial period (no restocking fees; see program for details).
- Warranty coverage on most devices and aftercare support.
- Battery support or charging options with many purchases.
How to use your benefit
- Members: Start at the Legion’s Member Discounts page (login may be required). Or go directly to Amplifon to check your benefits and find a provider: Amplifon Hearing Health Care.
- Schedule a hearing exam with a participating provider (Amplifon can help you book and confirm eligibility).
- Bring your program confirmation to your appointment; your discount is applied by the provider at checkout.
_Note:_ Benefits, pricing, participating locations, and terms are subject to change. Please review the latest details with Amplifon or on the Legion’s discount center.

The American Legion Extension Institute
American Legion Extension Institute now available online
The American Legion’s official training program for officers, members, Legion College applicants and those who simply want to expand their knowledge of the nation’s largest veterans service organization is now available online.
The American Legion Extension Institute has been rewritten, updated, streamlined and enhanced with videos, digital photos, clickable links, a historical timeline and additional features. To register and take the course, visit www.legion.org/alei. The program is designed to take less than two hours to complete. It is divided into six sections, with a quiz at the end of each, followed by a final exam.
The sections closely follow the Four Pillars of service for the organization. They include:
- History & Organization
- Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation
- National Security
- Americanism
- Children & Youth
Upon completion, a participant must pass a final online exam to receive a digital certificate of recognition; a lapel/cap pin will also be delivered to those who successfully complete the course. The names of those who have passed will be recorded and indexed at The American Legion National Headquarters. Graduates will have the option to click a box upon completion to recognize their accomplishment on The American Legion national website at www.legion.org.
The online course is $4.95 for members of The American Legion and Sons of The American Legion. The registration fee is $9.95 for non-members. Payment can be accepted securely and conveniently on the course registration page.

The Post Judge Advocate should refer to the Department Constitution & By-Laws to ensure the procedures are in agreement with this document.
