| Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the premier antidiscrimination employment law in the United States, does not prohibit discrimination against employees on the basis of their marital status.

Prior to 2003, the EBSA was known as the Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration, which prior to 1986 was known as the Pension and Welfare Benefits Program. In 1986, the program was also upgraded to sub-cabinet classification. The EBSA also oversees the fiduciary and auditing aspects of the Thrift Savings Plan that was established under the Federal Employees' Retirement System Act.More... |
