Past Rates: 2023 VA Survivors Pension Benefit Rates | Veterans Affairs
A penalty period is a length of time when a survivor isn’t eligible for pension benefits, because they transferred assets for less than fair market value during the look-back period. This may apply if those transferred assets would’ve caused the survivor’s net worth to be over the limit mentioned above. However, not every asset transfer is subject to this penalty.
If we determine you’re subject to a pension penalty, we wouldn’t pay pension benefits during the penalty period.

Past rates: 2023 VA Survivors Pension benefit rates

Review 2023 VA Survivors Pension benefit rates. If you qualify for this benefit as a surviving spouse or dependent child, we’ll base your payment amount on the difference between your countable income and a limit that Congress sets (called the Maximum Annual Pension Rate, or MAPR).
Get rates for the current year

Your countable income is how much you earn, including your salary, investment and retirement payments, and any income you may have from your dependents. Some expenses, like non-reimbursable medical expenses (paid medical expenses not covered by your insurance provider), may reduce your countable income.

Your MAPR amount is the maximum amount of pension payable to a Veteran, surviving spouse, or child. Your MAPR is based on how many dependents you have and whether you qualify for Housebound or Aid and Attendance benefits. MAPRs are adjusted each year for cost-of-living increases. You can find your current MAPR amount using the tables below.

Example: You’re a qualified surviving spouse with one dependent child. You also qualify for Aid and Attendance benefits. Your yearly income is $10,000.
Your MAPR amount = $20,509
Your yearly income = $10,000
Your VA pension = $10,509 for the year (or $875 paid each month)
5 CalPERS Retirement Myths Busted - CalPERS PERSpective
Myth 3 — If I work for two CalPERS employers, but only one of them reports payroll and service credit to CalPERS, I only have to stop working from the employer reporting to CalPERS when I’m ready to retire.
Fact: To be eligible to retire, you must stop working from all CalPERS employment, including all full-time, part-time, and overtime positions and any elected or appointed positions, even if the position is not being reported to CalPERS. If you work continuously in a position, even if it’s not being reported to CalPERS, you could be unlawfully employed and be required to change your retirement date and repay CalPERS for pension payments you received.
Myth 4 — My highest salary earned during my CalPERS-covered employment will be used to calculate my retirement benefits.
Fact: It’s true that we use a 12-month or 36-month average of your highest annual compensation when you have all classic or all Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) service. However, if you have a combination of classic and PEPRA service, we use one final compensation amount for the service earned under your classic service and a second final compensation amount under your PEPRA service. We cannot use your PEPRA salary toward your classic service and vice versa.
Myth 5 — If I have 100% vesting for retiree health benefits, it means that my employer pays 100% of my health benefit premiums.
Fact: If you’re 100% vested for CalPERS health benefits, this means you receive 100% of the employer’s contribution toward your health premiums. You are responsible for paying any remaining health premium costs. Vesting criteria vary by employer, years of service, hiring date, and bargaining unit.
Check with your employer for more information, and read our article on health vesting.
