US Department of Veterans Affairs Benefits

VA strives to offer our employees a better quality of life, both on the job and off, in return for their dedication to providing Veterans with exceptional patient care. We do so through competitive salaries, a robust federal benefits package that begins on your first day of employment, flexible schedules, and one of the most comprehensive education support programs in the nation.

A VA career comes with many rewarding benefits.

• Start your career with a competitive salary and generous benefits package that includes comprehensive health insurance and retirement plans.
• Advance your career with mentoring programs, workforce and leadership development programs, tuition assistance, scholarships and education loan repayment programs.
• Create work-life balance with telework opportunities, flexible work schedules and plenty of time off — which could include as much as 36 to 49 days of paid time off per year.
• Save for retirement with a 401(k)-type plan with matching contributions of up to 5%, in addition to a pension and Social Security.

Throughout your career, stay motivated and inspired by VA’s mission of serving those who have served and improving the lives of our nation’s heroes.
