This information is not available from any other source.
    c. The SSA will receive from RRB earnings information on selected 
individuals. The transfer of information may be initiated either by RRB 
or by SSA. SSA needs this information to determine eligibility to 
Social Security benefits and, if eligibility is met, to determine the 
benefit amount payable. Section 18 of the Railroad Retirement Act (45 
U.S.C. 231q(2)) requires that earnings considered as compensation under 
the Railroad Retirement Act be considered as wages under the Social 
Security Act for the purposes of determining entitlement under the

connection with the railroad industry at the time of his/her death.
    2. Weekly exchange: The SSA will receive from the RRB earnings 
information for all railroad employees. SSA will match the identifying
