Under Section 12 of the Railroad
Retirement Act, the Railroad Retirement
Board (RRB) may pay benefits to a
representative payee when an employee,
spouse or survivor annuitant is
incompetent or is a minor. A
representative payee may be a courtappointed guardian, a statutory
conservator or an individual selected by
the RRB. The procedures pertaining to
the appointment and responsibilities of
a representative payee are prescribed in
20 CFR part 266.
The forms furnished by the RRB to
apply for representative payee status,
and for securing the information needed
to support the application follow. RRB
Form AA–5, Application for
Substitution of Payee, obtains
information needed to determine the
selection of a representative payee who
23599
will serve in the best interest of the
beneficiary. RRB Form G–478,
Statement Regarding Patient’s
Capability to Manage Benefits, obtains
information about an annuitant’s
capability to manage their own benefits.
The form is completed by the
annuitant’s personal physician or by a
medical officer, if the annuitant is in an
institution. It is not required when a
court has appointed an individual or
institution to manage the annuitant’s
funds or, in the absence of such
appointment, when the annuitant is a
minor. The RRB also provides
representative payees with a booklet at
the time of their appointment. The
booklet, RRB Form RB–5, Your Duties
as Representative Payee-Representative
Payee’s Record, advises representative
payees of their responsibilities under 20
CFR 266.9 and provides a means for the
representative payee to maintain records

benefits. The booklet is provided for the
representative payee’s convenience. The
RRB also accepts records that are kept
by representative payee’s as part of a
common business practice.
Completion is voluntary. One
response is requested of each
respondent. The RRB is proposing nonburden impacting editorial changes to
Form AA–5 and the RB–5 booklet. No
changes are proposed for Form G–478.
