If a Post Officer is able to mark a Member deceased in MyLegion.org, it is not necessary to notify HQ via paper or email of the status. A bi-monthly report of the recently updated status will automatically notify HQ that the Member is deceased and will appear in a report run for the “Last Bugle” publication in the Badger Legionnaire.
An email or paper copy of the Member Data Form or “Last Bugle” notification form is only necessary if the Post Officers are unable to use MyLegion.org to complete the updates. If the Member Data Form is used, please only use one-ply of the form (save the other 3-plys for other notifications). HQ no longer needs multiple copies.
