About Us

The HSTA Voluntary Employees Beneficiary Association (VEBA) Trust was established in 1985 for you, the HSTA member.

 

Your Trustees represent the diverse population and interest of Hawaii’s teachers.

The main goal is to support HSTA members by offering voluntary insurance plans that will be beneficial to teachers.

All Trustees are teachers, both retired and active, and all of them are HSTA members.

The VEBA Trust plans are selected for teachers by teachers.
