BOSTON, July 23, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Grouper, the national leader in activity benefit administration, is thrilled to announce a partnership with American Legion, a United States veterans service organization founded over a century ago that is committed to advocating for the rights and needs of nearly 19 million veterans and their families. The collaboration between Grouper and American Legion aims to enhance the health of veterans by providing access to benefits that support staying active and engaged.

Guided by its mission of encouraging healthy living through meaningful social connections, Grouper connects its members to benefits that cover costs associated with group activities. By joining Grouper and staying connected through activities that support the veteran community, American Legion members who are 65 or older and have participating Medicare Advantage or Medicare Supplement plans can unlock the activity benefit offered by these plans and receive a check in the mail. "Grouper is thrilled to help support the veterans of American Legion by offering access to an activity benefit that encourages social connection," said Doug Wenners, Grouper's Chief Executive Officer. "This partnership is a natural fit because both organizations understand that social connection is about building high-quality relationships that enhance our lives."

American Legion members who are eligible for the activity benefit can use it to offset participation costs associated with their activities. American Legion members are then encouraged to remain active so they can receive ongoing benefits. This is a timely collaboration for American Legion, which has recently prioritized suicide prevention for its members through the Be The One campaign. Instead of focusing on the staggering number of veteran lives lost each day, veterans, caregivers and others are encouraged to "Be The One" to save the life of one veteran.

"The American Legion's partnership with Grouper is instrumental in enhancing support for veterans and providing them with the resources and social connections they need to thrive," said Dean Kessel, American Legion's Chief Marketing Officer. "We want to make it OK for veterans to ask for help, and one way we can do that is by building a community of support."
