A simple way for qualified employees to spend VEBA dollars

  • VEBAs are employer-funded, tax-free irrevocable trust arrangements that are often paired with HRAs. Because of this, the term “VEBA” often refers to a funded HRA with VEBA trust. 
  • Employees must be covered by an employer-sponsored health plan to be eligible for a VEBA. 
  • Employees can use their VEBA fund to pay for 213(d) eligible expenses and medicare premiums in retirement. The employer determines eligible expenses and if enrollees can spend their funds on eligible medical expenses while actively employed.
