But shouldn't a VEBA payout be on a 1099-R?

Good question.  I don't know the answer to that.  And I am getting the feeling the administrator doesn't either.

Would the withdrawal of funds used for retiree medical be on a 1099R?  More to the point in my case, would in effect a return of an excess contribution to a VEBA be on a 1099R?
