| Question: Why does Paid Up For Life seem to cost more than other organizations' "Life" memberships? | Answer: National Headquarters maintains a special PUFL trust. Money from this trust can only be used to pay annual dues to your post, department and national headquarters, Though we can't speak with authority on how other organizations set up their "Life" memberships, they may not pay annual dues to the local, state, and national organizations, resulting in a different cost structure. |
