What is VEBA?

Simply put, a VEBA is a tax exempt irrevocable trust arrangement in which funds are deposited by the employer on behalf of the employee. Once funds are deposited, they can be used for current or future out-of‐pocket health care related expenses. VEBA participation is based on bargaining group votes, individuals cannot elect to enroll.
