At any of these events, members of our team will be ready to share with you all the benefits of working at VA, benefits that can set you up for success and help you make the most of your chosen career. At VA, you can enjoy:

  • Up to 26 days of paid leave, 13 sick days annually and 11 paid federal holidays each year, as well as 12 weeks of parental leave.
  • Federal insurance programs and a variety of plans that all cover preexisting conditions, with 75% of health premiums paid by us.
  • The Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), and TSP, which allows you to tax-defer a portion of your income each year, similar to a 401(k), with an automatic 1% government contribution.

All that is in addition to our mission “To fulfill President Lincoln’s promise to care for those who have served in our nation’s military and for their families, caregivers, and survivors.” Being of service is often cited among our employees as the best thing about working here.
