ERISA (Employee Retirement Income Security Act) is a 1974 U.S. federal law that sets minimum standards for most voluntarily established retirement and health plans in private industry. It aims to protect plan participants by requiring plans to provide information, establish fiduciary responsibilities, and give participants the right to sue for benefits and breaches of duty. ERISA also guarantees payment of certain benefits through the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation if a defined plan is terminated.
