Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association
(Redirected from VEBA)
Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association (also known by its acronym, VEBA) is an organization for members who have an employment-related common bond, or coverage under one or more collective bargaining agreements, or membership in a labor union, to pay life, sick, accident, and similar benefits. A VEBA operates similar to a pension fund in that employers contribute a specific amount of money each year to accounts for their employees.
