spouse annuity the RRB uses Form AA–
3, Application for Spouse/Divorced
Spouse Annuity, and electronic Form
AA–3cert, Application Summary and
Certification.
The AA–3 application process gathers
information from an applicant about
their marital history, work history,
benefits from other government
agencies, railroad pensions and
Medicare entitlement for a spouse
annuity. An RRB representative
interviews the applicant either at a field
office (preferred), an itinerant point, or
by telephone. During the interview, the
RRB representative enters the
information obtained into an on-line
information system. Upon completion of
the interview, the system generates, for
the applicant’s review and traditional
pen and ink ‘‘wet’’ signature, Form AA–
3cert, Application Summary and
Certification, which is a summary of the
information that the applicant provided
or verified. When the RRB
representative is unable to contact the
applicant in person or by telephone, for
example, the applicant lives in another
country, a manual version of Form AA–
3 is used.
Consistent with 20 CFR 217.17, upon
completion of the AA–3 interview
process, the RRB proposes to provide, in
addition to the current Form AA–3cert
pen and ink ‘‘wet’’ signature, an
alternate signing method called
‘‘Attestation,’’ which will be
documented by new Form AA–3sum.
Attestation refers to an action taken by
the RRB representative to confirm and
annotate in the RRB records (1) the
applicant’s intent to file an application;
(2) the applicant’s affirmation under
penalty of perjury that the information
provided is correct; and (3) the
applicant’s agreement to sign the
application by proxy. The information
collected as part of the AA–3 interview
process will be the same irrespective of
whether the application is signed by a
pen and ink ‘‘wet’’ signature or by
attestation. The only difference will be
the method of signature.
In addition, consistent with
Department of Treasury guidelines, the
RRB proposes revisions to Forms AA–3
and AA–3cert, to provide claimants a
Direct Express® Master Card® Debit
Card payment option. Other nonburden-impacting editorial and
formatting changes are proposed. One
response is requested of each
respondent. Completion of the forms is
required to obtain a benefit.
