Offramp to Title 29 of the United States Code

Offramp to Title 29 of the United States Code

When the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA" or "the Act") became law in 1974, it was codified as part of Title 29 of the United States Code. By that time Title 29 already contained the codified version of many other labor laws. (Title 29 section 1 was already "taken," for example.) So the Title 29 section numbers assigned to the provisions of ERISA do not line up with the section numbering in the original Act.
For example, the fiduciary duty provisions of ERISA section 404 are found in Title 29 section 1104. (Unfortunately the mismatch cannot be translated by simply adding 700 to the ERISA section number, though that's true for the fiduciary duty provisions.)
Use the following form if you know the Title 29 section number.
If you don't know the Title 29 section number, see our online cross-reference table of ERISA in Title 29 (click).
