- **Federal Retirement Plan:**
  - VA employees are covered by the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS). FERS is a three-tiered retirement plan composed of Social Security benefits, FERS-RAE basic benefits (pension), and Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) which is a 401K-type plan.
  - VA employees automatically contribute 4.4% of their salary each pay period, and the VA contributes 12.2% of the employee's salary each pay period for a total annual contribution percentage equal to 16.6% of the employee's salary.
  - Similar to the 401(k) savings plans widely available in the private sector, the TSP allows employees to tax defer a portion of their income each year, subject to IRS requirements. For calendar year 2025, employees under age 50 may contribute up to $23,500, while those over age 50 are eligible to make catch-up contributions that allow them to defer up to $31,000.
  - The Federal Government also provides an automatic basic contribution (1% of salary) and up to 4% of salary in matching contributions, depending on the amount of 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 retired personnel.
  - Employees are vested in a federal pension after only 5 years of service.
