Term life insurance, family, and additional coverage options are available with shared costs from the Federal Government.

Retirement Benefits:
VA employees are enrolled in the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS). FERS is a three-tiered retirement plan comprising 1) Social Security benefits; 2) FERS-FRAE basic benefits (pension); and 3) Thrift Savings Plan (TSP), a 401K-type plan.
How is the pension funded? VA employees automatically contribute 4.4% of their salary each pay period, while the VA contributes 8.8% of the employee's salary each pay period, totaling an annual contribution percentage of 12%.
Similar to 401(k) plans available in the private sector, the TSP allows employees to tax-defer a portion of their income each year, subject to IRS regulations.
For the calendar year, employees under 50 may contribute up to a specified limit, while those over 50 can make catch-up contributions, allowing for higher deferral amounts.
The Federal Government also provides an automatic basic contribution (1% of salary) and matching contributions up to 4% of salary, depending on employee contributions.For retired military personnel, these benefits are in addition to full monthly retirement pay or pension.
In addition to FERS, VA provides health care insurance coverage for retired personnel.
Disability Retirement benefits are also available for employees vested in a federal pension after only 5 years of service.
