VA Funding Fee And Loan Closing Costs | Veterans Affairs
We’re here Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. ET.
How will I pay this fee?
You’ll pay this fee when you close your VA-backed or VA direct home loan.
You can pay the VA funding fee in either of these ways:

Include the funding fee in your loan and pay it off over time (called financing), or
Pay the full fee all at once at closing

How much will I pay?
This depends on the amount of your loan and other factors.
For all loans, we’ll base your VA funding fee on these factors:

The type of loan you get, and
The total amount of your loan. We’ll calculate your funding fee as a percentage of your total loan amount.

Depending on your loan type, we may also base your fee on these factors:

Whether it’s your first time, or a subsequent time, using a VA-backed or VA direct home loan, and
Your down payment amount

Note: Your lender will also charge interest on the loan in addition to closing fees. Please be sure to talk to your lender about any loan costs that may be added to your loan amount.

VA funding fee rate charts
Effective April 7, 2023
Review the VA funding fee rate charts on this page to determine the amount you’ll have to pay. Down payment and VA funding fee amounts are expressed as a percentage of total loan amount.
For example: Let’s say you’re using a VA-backed loan for the first time, and you’re buying a $200,000 home and paying a down payment of $10,000 (5% of the $200,000 loan). You’ll pay a VA funding fee of $2,850, or 1.5% of the $190,000 loan amount. The funding fee applies only to the loan amount, not the purchase price of the home.

“We plan to publicize the “NASA on the Air” events in amateur radio magazines, on our Facebook site, and web pages,” said Suggs who has worked for NASA since 1994 and is supporting Natural Environments for the Human Landing System Program.
“NASA on the Air” uses the hashtag #NOTA when announcing events on social media sites such as Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram.

Ham radio enthusiasts usually exchange QSL cards. When a contact is made with someone, you exchange a postcard noting the contact was made. For this yearlong event, some clubs at NASA centers are offering commemorative QSL cards and a special certificate indicating how many centers a participant contacted on various frequency bands.
QSL cards serve as written confirmation of communication between amateur radio stations. QSL derived its name from the Q, or question, code message: “QSL?” It simply means, “Do you confirm receipt of my transmission?”
Points will be awarded to each center’s amateur radio club based on the number of contacts made during the yearlong event.
NOTA’s Contact Tracking System is run by Matt McDougal, KA0S out of Marshall Amateur Radio Club, NN4SA.  It is a web-based system for participants to check their points total and download a printable certificate at the end of the event. Points will be awarded for each center’s contacts.

Hunting Licenses and Tags

A: You must mail your unfilled tag(s) to CDFW with a written request for preference point reinstatement (and/or refund for elk, pronghorn antelope, or bighorn sheep tags only). Your tag and written request must be postmarked on or prior to February 28 of the current license year for which the tag is valid for. Tags and written requests postmarked after the deadline will not be accepted.
CDFW suggests you mail in your unfilled tag(s) with the required written request for preference point reinstatement as soon as your tag’s hunt season has closed. Returning your tag early will enable CDFW staff to contact you for additional information if needed prior to the tag return deadline (February 28), process your request as quickly as possible, and reduces the likelihood of you misplacing your tag before returning it to CDFW.
Mail the tag and the request to:
CDFW
License and Revenue Branch
Attn: Big Game Hunting Desk
P.O. Box 944209
Sacramento, CA 94244-2090
Q: Why isn’t my tag eligible to be returned for preference point reinstatement and/or tag refund?
A: California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 14, section 708.14 specifies the eligibility requirements for tag returns. If your tag is not listed as an eligible tag, it is because the specific hunt was not identified as meeting the eligibility requirements. For a list of tags eligible for return and preference points reinstatement, please visit the Post Season Tag Returns page.
Q: Is there a specific form or format that should be used for the written request?
A: There is no specific form or format that you are required to use. Although the regulations do not specify the manner in which a request must be written or provide a comprehensive list of the information it must contain, the following are some general recommendations:

Include a typed or legible handwritten request, asking for reinstatement of your preference points. Include your name, address, GO ID, and your contact information (phone and/or email address) in the event we have a question about your request.

The 2024-25 Budget: California State University
Several of these agreements provide a 5 percent general salary increase, contingent upon the state providing a specified amount of support to CSU in 2024‑25. For example, the 5 percent increase for employees represented by CFA is contingent upon the state not reducing ongoing base funding to CSU relative to the 2023‑24 Budget Act level, whereas the salary increase for employees represented by CSUEU is contingent upon the state providing a $227 million base augmentation to CSU. As of this writing, 2024‑25 compensation increases have not yet been determined for three smaller unions, as well as non‑represented employees. CSU estimates the cost of every 1 percent increase in its compensation pool for all employee groups in 2024‑25 would be $55 million ongoing.
CSU Is Directly Responsible for Certain Pension Costs. The California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) administers pension benefits for CSU and most other state employees. The CalPERS Board sets employer contribution rates for pensions as a percentage of payroll. The state and CSU each pay a portion of the total employer contribution. The state’s contribution is determined by applying the employer contribution rate to CSU’s 2013‑14 payroll level. CSU’s contribution is determined by applying the employer contribution rate to any payroll growth above that level. The state adopted this arrangement in 2013‑14 to provide CSU with a stronger fiscal incentive to contain staffing costs. 
Governor Assumes Pension Contribution Rates Decrease in 2024‑25. The Governor’s budget assumes that employer CalPERS contribution rates will decrease in 2024‑25 due to the application of a supplemental pension payment made in 2023‑24. Under the Governor’s proposal, the employer contribution rate for the largest CSU employee group (miscellaneous) would be 26.6 percent of pay—5.4 percentage points lower than the rate in 2023‑24. The employer contribution rate for other CSU employees (peace officers and firefighters) would be 30.5 percent of pay—19.6 percentage points lower than the rate in 2023‑24. These lower rates result in associated budget savings. Specifically, the Governor’s budget reflects a $129 million decrease in the state’s contribution towards CSU’s pension costs.
