RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
Proposed Collection; Comment
Request
Summary: In accordance with the
requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
which provides opportunity for public
comment on new or revised data
collections, the Railroad Retirement
Board (RRB) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed data collections.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed information collection is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including
whether the information has practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the RRB’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of the information; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden related to
the collection of information on
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
1. Title and purpose of information
collection: Evidence for Application of
Overall Minimum: OMB 3220–0083.
Under Section 3(f)(3) of the Railroad
Retirement Act (RRA), the total monthly
benefits payable to a railroad employee
and his/her family are guaranteed to be
no less than the amount which would
be payable if the employee’s railroad
service had been covered by the Social
Security Act. This is referred to as the
Social Security Overall Minimum
Guarantee, which is prescribed in 20
CFR part 229. To administer this
provision, the Railroad Retirement
Board (RRB) requires information about
a retired employee’s spouse and
child(ren) who would not be eligible for
benefits under the RRA but would be
eligible for benefits under the Social
Security Act if the employee’s railroad
service had been covered by that Act.
The RRB obtains the required
information by the use of Forms G–319,
Statement Regarding Family and
Earnings for Special Guaranty
Computation, and G–320, Student
Questionnaire for Special Guaranty
Computation. One response is required
of each respondent. Completion is
required to obtain or retain benefits. The
RRB proposes no changes to Form G–
319 or Form G–320.

and any employee supplemental
annuity for any month in which the
annuitant works for a Last PreRetirement Non-Railroad Employer
(LPE). The LPE is defined as the last
person, company, or institution, other
than a railroad employer, that employed
an employee or spouse annuitant. In
addition, the employee, spouse, or
divorced spouse Tier I annuity benefit is
subject to work deductions under
Section 2(f)(1) of the RRA for earnings
from any non-railroad employer that are
over the annual exempt amount. The
regulations pertaining to non-payment
of annuities by reason of work and LPE
are contained in 20 CFR 230.1 and
230.2.
The RRB utilizes Form RL–231–F,
Request to Non-Railroad Employer for
Information About Annuitant’s Work
and Earnings, to obtain the information
needed to determine if a work
deduction should be applied because an
annuitant worked in non-railroad
employment after the annuity beginning
date. One response is requested of each
respondent. Completion is voluntary.
The RRB proposes no changes to Form
RL–231–F.
