unforseen emergency--suspension of deferrals?

[Felicia]

If a participant takes a distribution for an unforseen emergency, is there any law that says he is obligated to suspend contributions for a certain period? If so, please advise where it can be found. Also, please advise how long the suspension period should be. Thanks.

The law does not provide for a mandatory suspension of deferrals in a 457(b) plan after an "unforeseen emergency" distribution.
