‘‘(A) IN GENERAL.—If an employee is enti-
tled to the benefits of chapter 43 of title 38,
United States Code, with respect to any plan
which provides for elective deferrals, such em-
ployer shall be treated as meeting the require-
ments of such chapter 43 with respect to such
elective deferrals if such employer—

additional elective deferrals under such
plan (in the amount determined under sub-
paragraph (B)) during the period (not
longer than 5 years) which begins on the
date of the reemployment and has the
same length as the period of qualified mili-
tary service which resulted in such rights,

in respect of any additional elective defer-
ral made pursuant to clause (i) which
would have been required had such defer-
ral actually been made during the period of
such qualified military service.
‘‘(B) AMOUNT OF MAKEUP REQUIRED.—
The amount determined under this subpara-
graph is the maximum amount of elective defer-
rals that the individual would have been per-
mitted to make under the plan during his pe-
riod of qualified military service if he had con-
tinued to be employed by the employer during
such period and received compensation at the
same rate as the individual received from the
employer immediately before such qualified
military service. Proper adjustment shall be
made to the amount determined under the pre-
ceding sentence for any elective deferrals actu-
ally made during the period of such qualified
military service.

RETROACTIVE
ADJUSTMENTS

ployee with respect to any contribution before
such contribution is actually made, or
‘‘(B) any allocation with respect to the pe-
riod of qualified military service of any of the
following amounts—

‘‘(ii) any employer contribution which
was voluntary, and

MITTED.—If any plan suspends the repayment of

such individual is performing qualified military serv-
ice, such suspension shall not be taken into account

‘‘(5) QUALIFIED MILITARY SERVICE.—For pur-
poses of this subsection, the term ‘qualified military
service’ means any service in the uniformed services
(as defined in chapter 43 of title 38, United States
Code) by any individual if such individual is entitled
to reemployment rights under such chapter 43, with
respect to such service.

ACCOUNT
PLAN.—For pur-
poses of this subsection, the term ‘individual account
plan’ means any defined contribution plan and any
eligible deferred compensation plan (as defined in
section 457(b)).
