RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
Proposed Collection; Comment
Request
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.
Title and purpose of information
collection: RUIA Investigations and
Continuing Entitlement; OMB 3220–
0025.
Under Section 1(k) of the Railroad
Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA),
unemployment and sickness benefits are
not payable for any day remuneration is
payable or accrues to the claimant. Also
Section 4(a–1) of the RUIA provides that
unemployment or sickness benefits are
not payable for any day the claimant
SUMMARY:
receives the same benefits under any
law other than the RUIA. Under
Railroad Retirement Board (RRB)
regulations, 20 CFR 322.4(a), a
claimant’s certification or statement on
an RRB-provided claim form that he or
she did not work on any day claimed
and did not receive income such as
vacation pay or pay for time lost shall
constitute sufficient evidence unless
there is conflicting evidence. Further,
under 20 CFR 322.4(b), when there is a
question raised as to whether or not
remuneration is payable or has accrued
to a claimant with respect to a claimed
day or days, an investigation shall be
made with a view to obtaining
information sufficient for a finding. The
RRB utilizes the following four forms to
obtain information from railroad
employers, nonrailroad employers, and
claimants, that is needed to determine
whether a claimed day or days of
unemployment or sickness were
improperly or fraudulently claimed:
Form ID–5i, Request for Employment
Information; Form ID–5R (SUP), Report
of Employees Paid RUIA Benefits for
Every Day in Month Reported as Month
of Creditable Service; Form ID–49R,
Railroad Payroll Record Check; and
Form UI–48, Statement Regarding
Benefits Claimed for Days Worked.
Completion is voluntary. One response
is requested of each respondent.
To qualify for unemployment or
sickness benefits payable under Section
2 of the Railroad Unemployment
Insurance Act (RUIA), a railroad
employee must have certain qualifying
earnings in the applicable base year. In
addition, to qualify for extended or
accelerated benefits under Section 2 of
the RUIA, a railroad employee who has
exhausted his or her rights to normal
benefits must have at least 10 years of
railroad service (under certain
conditions, military service may be
credited as months of railroad service).
Accelerated benefits are unemployment
or sickness benefits that are payable to
a railroad employee before the regular
July 1 beginning date of a benefit year
if an employee has 10 or more years of
service and is not qualified for benefits
in the current benefit year.
During the RUIA claims review
process, the RRB may determine that
unemployment or sickness benefits
cannot be awarded because RRB records
show insufficient qualifying service
and/or compensation. When this occurs,
the RRB allows the claimant the
opportunity to provide additional
information if they believe that the RRB
service and compensation records are
incorrect.
Depending on the circumstances, the
RRB provides the following forms to
obtain information needed to determine
if a claimant has sufficient service or
compensation to qualify for
unemployment or sickness benefits.
Form UI–9, Statement of Employment
and Wages; Form UI–23, Statement of
Service for Railroad Unemployment
Insurance Benefits; Form UI–44, Claim
for Credit for Military Service; Form ID–
4F, Advising of Ineligibility for
Unemployment Benefits; Form ID–4U,
Advising of Service/Earnings
Requirements for Unemployment
Benefits; Form ID–4X, Advising of
Service/Earnings Requirements for
Sickness Benefits; Form ID–4Y,
Advising of Ineligibility for Sickness
Benefits; Form ID–20–1, Advising that
Normal Unemployment Benefits Are
About to Be Exhausted; Form ID–20–2,
Advising the Normal Sickness Benefits
Are About to Be Exhausted; and Form
ID–20–4, Advising That Normal
Sickness Benefits Are About to Be
Exhausted/Non-Entitlement.
Completion of these forms is required to
obtain or retain a benefit. Response is
required of each respondent. The RRB
proposes to add to Items 4a and 5a of
Form UI–48, Statement Regarding
Benefits Claimed for Days Worked, two
‘‘go to’’ references to improve navigating
the form. The RRB also proposes to
remove the following seven forms from
the information collection due to under
10 responses a year: ID–4F, ID–4Y, ID–
20–1, ID–20–2, ID–20–4, ID–49R, and
UI–23.

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

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed information

(b) the accuracy of the RRB's estimate of the burden of the collection

the burden related to the collection of information on respondents,
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of

Title and purpose of information collection: RUIA Investigations

Under Section 1(k) of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act
(RUIA), unemployment and sickness benefits are not payable for any day
remuneration is payable or accrues to the claimant. Also Section 4(a-1)
of the RUIA provides that unemployment or sickness benefits are not
payable for any day the claimant receives the same benefits under any
law other than the RUIA. Under Railroad Retirement Board (RRB)
regulations, 20 CFR 322.4(a), a claimant's certification or statement
on an RRB-provided claim form that he or she did not work on any day
claimed and did not receive income such as vacation pay or pay for time
lost shall constitute sufficient evidence unless there is conflicting

raised as to whether or not remuneration is payable or has accrued to a

To qualify for unemployment or sickness benefits payable under

unemployment or sickness benefits cannot be awarded because RRB records
show insufficient qualifying service and/or compensation. When this

additional information if they believe that the RRB service and
