PBGC RIN: 1212-AB19 Publication ID: Spring 2009 
Title: ●USERRA Benefits Under Title IV of ERISA  
Abstract: The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA) provides that an individual who leaves his or her job to serve in the uniformed services is generally entitled to reemployment by his or her previous employer and, upon reemployment, to receive credit for benefits, including employee pension plan benefits, that would have accrued but for the employee's absence due to military service. This proposed rule would amend PBGC's benefit payments regulation to deem a participant who is in military service on the plan's termination date to satisfy the reemployment condition for entitlement to USERRA benefits as of the plan's termination date, so long as the participant is reemployed after the termination date in accordance with USERRA requirements.
