American Legion Post Veterans Service Officer
The American Legion’s post service officer (PSO) is a volunteer position within an individual American Legion post. A PSO
serves as a link between the veteran or dependent and a representative holding American Legion accreditation. An
effective PSO understands benefits afforded to veterans and dependents; however, the PSO is not authorized to
file any claims on behalf of the claimant. PSOs serve as valuable resources to veterans in local posts to ensure that
our veterans and their dependents receive their earned benefits. The American Legion has created this guide to assist PSOs in their duties.
