American Legion, American Legion Baseball, oratorical contests and sponsorship Scouting units. Section 501 (c) (19) requires only 75 percent of the members be current or former members of the Armed Forces, and substantially all the other members are cadets, spouses, widows or widowers of past or present members. The Legion requires that 100 percent of its members be qualifying veterans. Questions have been raised whether SALs count toward the 100 percent, or if they might be considered “associate or social members.” HR4434 would provide that the definition of “member” for purposes of the tax exempt status, and unrelated business income would be expanded to include ancestors and lineal descendants of the member (a “member” meaning past and present members of the armed services which meet the congressional charter definition). This legislation would recognize the original intent of Congress and the fact that more distant relatives of a Legionnaire will come into existence over time. Members of the American Legion family are urged to contact their elected congressional members and ask them to become a co-sponsor of HR4434.
