        established--
                    (A) after the date of the enactment of this Act, 
                and
                    (B) for the benefit of eligible separated employees 
                (and their dependents),
        to transfer amounts to such association for purposes of

        for the benefit of such employees (and dependents).
            (2) Eligible separated employee.--For purposes of this 
        section, the term ``eligible separated employee'' means any 
        individual--
                    (A) who is separated from employment with Delphi 
                Corporation before the date of the enactment of this

available for activities authorized by such Act.
