The normal retirement formula is used for employees who qualify for early retirement under the Pension Plan upon termination, by being credited with at least 10 years of service with VF and having attained age 55.

A VA funding fee of 0 to 3.3% of the loan amount is paid to the VA; this fee may also be financed.
