Veterans Affairs (VA) Employees

Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) employees serve in a variety of critical roles needed throughout the largest integrated health care system in the country – from providing medical care and benefits administration, to public policymaking, and to federal security and enforcement.

FEDS Protection professional liability insurance (PLI) provides peace of mind, responsive customer service, and legal defense. We're trusted by federal executives, managers, support staff, and law enforcement officers nationwide.

At FEDS, we recognize and appreciate the vulnerabilities of hardworking VA employees and provide the protection you need to feel safeguarded while performing your federal duties.

Many VA employees are eligible for agency reimbursement of up to $250 per calendar year for their annual PLI premium as authorized by federal statute

OUR POLICY COVERS VA EMPLOYEES FOR THREE AREAS OF EXPOSURE: CIVIL, ADMINISTRATIVE, AND CRIMINAL

VA employees face a unique set of risks that come with employment in such a highly scrutinized agency, such as:

  • Actions under the Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act
  • Expedited removal or discipline
  • Shortened notice and appeal timelines
  • Revocation or limitation of clinical privileges

Allegations against VA employees can result in:

  • OAWP discipline
  • Professional Standard Board (PSB) actions
  • Administrative Investigation Board (AIB) investigations
  • Title 38 disciplinary actions
  • Management-directed inquiries
  • EEO investigations
  • Bivens claims

If you are faced with these allegations and the resulting investigation, lawsuit, or even potential termination, will you be equipped with the tools you need to protect the career you’ve worked so hard to build?

Allegations, complaints, investigations, disciplinary actions, and personal capacity lawsuits in which you could be held personally financially liable are the reasons Professional Liability Insurance is available and necessary for your protection.

VA employees may face civil, criminal, or administrative actions arising from actions taken while rendering your professional service. Agency representation is not automatic, and in some cases, you may need to secure legal counsel on your own.

A Professional Liability Insurance (PLI) policy from FEDS Protection helps protect VA employees by providing:


  • Legal defense for allegations, investigations, or lawsuits related to actions taken while rendering your professional service.
  • Indemnity coverage for personal liability exposure for actions taken while rendering your professional service.
