What Is ERISA?

ERISA is the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, which establishes certain minimum standards for employee pension plans. Enacted in 1974, it provides a set of rules on federal income tax, and how that taxation will affect employee benefits.

While ERISA does not require the establishment of pension plans, it does provide several rules for the operation of established pension plans. They must have vesting options after a certain number of years. Additionally, employers must satisfy minimum funding requirements.
