MMC Benefits Handbook
Your Benefits Coverage
The following table showing benefits coverage reflects the provisions of the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 ("USERRA"). Note that USERRA has specific reemployment rights, and many states have also enacted statutes protecting employees on military leave; some of those statutes provide, in certain respects, broader protection than USERRA.
