The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, commonly known as ERISA, is a U.S federal statute that sets minimum standards for pension plans, health care plans, and some apprenticeship and severance pay plans established by private sector employers in the United States. Originally passed in 1974 to deal with widespread concerns about the fairness and economic soundness of employee pension plans, the most controversial provisions of ERISA are now its preemption of many state laws relating to employee health care plans and the quality of health care delivered through health maintenance organizations.

In general, ERISA does not cover group health plans established or maintained by governmental entities, plans established by churches for their employees, or plans which are maintained solely to comply with applicable workers compensation, unemployment, or disability laws. ERISA also does not cover plans maintained outside the United States primarily for the benefit of nonresident aliens or unfunded excess benefit plans.

ERISA requires pension plans to provide for vesting of employees' pension rights after a specified minimum number of years and to meet certain funding requirements. It also establishes an entity, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, that will provide some minimal benefits coverage in the event that a plan does not, on termination, have sufficient assets to provide all the benefits employees and retirees have earned. Later amendments to the Act require employers who are withdrawing from participation in a multiemployer pension plan that has insufficient assets to pay all of employees' vested benefits to pay their pro rata share of that unfunded vested benefits liability.
