- USERRA
- Acronym for Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act. Established in 1994 to protect people who voluntarily or involuntarily leave their civilian jobs to perform military duties. USERRA requires that employers allow such individuals and their dependents to remain covered by the company- sponsored health plan for up to 24 months, if they choose. If the individual decides not to continue coverage, they can be reinstated in the plan without any waiting periods or exclusions when they return to their civilian job.
