How is the pension funded? VA employees automatically contribute

eligible to make catch-up contributions that allow them to defer up
to $23,000.

contributions, depending on the amount of the employee
contribution
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
