High Priority Information for The American Legion

The U.S. Department of the Treasury is sending a direct mail letter in the coming weeks to a select group of VA Compensation or Pension check recipients to encourage them to switch from a paper check to the Direct Express® Debit MasterCard® card for their payments. The Direct Express® card is endorsed by VA and is safer, easier and more convenient than receiving a paper check. More Info
