(c) Subsection (a) does not apply in the case of employer-offered insurance benefits in which a person referred to in such subsection is entitled to participate pursuant to the provisions of chapter 43 of title 38, United States Code.

(c) The amendments made by this section shall take effect as of August 1, 1990.

The health insurance benefits provision in the SSCRA, Section 703(a) of the Act as amended in 1991, for non-employer purchased health insurance, closely parallels Title 38, U.S. Code Section 4317, which is the health care provision for employer-sponsored health care plans of the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA).
