The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) is a federal law that protects the retirement assets of American workers by establishing minimum standards for private sector retirement and health plans.

Establish a grievance and appeals process for participants

Hold fiduciaries accountable for their actions and decisions

Guarantee payment of certain benefits if a defined benefit plan is terminated
