    The American Legion Benefits Calculator allows you to enter data to help provide an unofficial readout of benefits you may be eligible to receive. This estimate is based in part on information provided by you, and the accuracy of the estimate will depend in part on the accuracy of the information you submit. Diligent care has been taken in providing the Benefits Calculator to you; nonetheless, The American Legion makes no representation as to the accuracy, correctness, completeness, timeliness, precision, or accessibility of the Benefits Calculator or the data it generates. This is not an official estimate and you should not rely solely on the Calculator to determine your benefits. The benefits you will receive are determined according to U.S. law. For more information contact a Department Service Officer in your area. Visit www.legion.org/departmentofficers.
