with the individual states will run for a
maximum length of 18 months with a
provision for an automatic, one-time 12

of 30 months (5 U.S.C. 552a(o)(2)(D). In
order to qualify for the renewal, both
parties must certify to the RRB Data

the expiration of the agreement that:
(1) The program will continue to be
conducted without change, and
(2) Each party certifies to the board in
writing that the program has been
conducted in compliance with the
agreement.
The number of matches conducted
with each state during the period of the
match will vary from state to state, but
typically are 2 to 4 matches per calendar

Railroad Retirement Beneficiaries;

required under state law in public aid
payments due to cost of living or other
adjustments in RRB annuities;

identifying information such as: Name,
Social Security Number (SSN), date of
birth, and RRB Claim Number, if
known. The RRB will then conduct a

an individual who received benefits
under the Railroad Retirement Act also
received benefits from the state for any
days in the period, the RRB will notify
the state agency and provide benefit
payment and Medicare Entitlement data
for those matched individuals. The state
