Sec. 5. Any person who is restored or seeks to be restored to a position in accordance with the provisions of this Act, shall be considered as having been on furlough or leave of absence during his military service and shall be so restored without loss of seniority and shall be entitled to participate in insurance or other benefits offered by the employer pursuant to established rules and practices relating to employees on furlough or leave of absence in effect with the employer at the time such person entered military service. Such person shall not be discharged from such position without cause within one year after such restoration.
If an employer provides health insurance, an exclusion or waiting period may not be imposed in connection with coverage of a health or physical condition of a person entitled to participate in that insurance under this Section, or a health or physical condition of any other person who is covered by the insurance by reason of the coverage of that person, if (1) the condition arose before or during that person's period of military service; (2) an exclusion or waiting period would not have been imposed for the condition during a period of coverage resulting from participation by that person in the insurance; and (3) the condition of that person has not been determined to be service connected.
