New USERRA Notification: (Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Right Act)The Veterans Benefits Improvment Act of 2004, Public Law 108-454, was signed into law by President George W. Bush on December 10 of last year.  The Act is designed to improve and enhance education, housing, employment and medical and other benefits for veterans.  One item of significance for the employer community, however is the Act's provision requiring that employees be provided with notice of their rights, beneftis, and obligations under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA).   The new law also increases the maximum period that employee who are absent by reason of service in the uniformed services have the right ot continue to participate in the employer's health care plan.  The maximum period for continuation coverage is now 24 months (up from 18 months).  This provision became effective with the passage of the law.  Even if you don't elect to continue coverage during your military service, you have the right to be reinstated in your employer's health plan when you are reemployed, generally without any waiting periods or exclusions (e.g., pre-existing condition exclusions) except for service-connected illnesses or injuries.
