VEBA? You mean the trust worth anywhere from $20-$40k at retirement? The same VEBA that UAL has ON TOP of access to the company medical if retiring early?
How long will that, (being generous) $40k last paying for Obamacare (if it still exists), or private insurance? A year? Two? I hope you or your wife don't have preexisting conditions at age 60.
The VEBA trust is designed with Medicare in mind. It isn't a replacement for the company plan. That is why our peers with VEBA trusts ALSO get access to the company plan before Medicare kicks in.
You should do your homework. This TA is abysmal.
