Railroad Retirement Board July 1, 2021 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Railroad Retirement Board (Board) amends its regulations addressing who may receive a portion of an employee annuity due to a former spouse of a railroad annuitant under a court decree of divorce or court-approved property settlement, but which was unpaid at the time of the former spouse's death. The current regulation states that the Board will follow the priority order provided for employee annuities unpaid at death in the Board's regulations. This amendment is necessary to insert a correct reference to the proper section of the Board's regulations pertaining to employee annuities due but unpaid at death.
