Title and Purpose of Information 

Collection 

Application and Claim for 

Unemployment Benefits and 

Employment Service, OMB 3220–0022. 

Section 2 of the Railroad 

Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA), 

provides unemployment benefits for 

qualified railroad employees. These 

benefits are generally payable for each 

day of unemployment in excess of four 

during a registration period (normally a 

period of 14 days). 

Section 12 of the RUIA provides that 

the RRB establish, maintain and operate 

free employment facilities directed 

toward the reemployment of railroad 

employees. The procedures for applying 

for the unemployment benefits and 

employment service and for registering 

and claiming the benefits are prescribed 

in 20 CFR part 325. 

The RRB utilizes the following forms 

to collect the information necessary to 

pay unemployment benefits: Form UI–1 

(or its Internet equivalent, Form UI–1 

(Internet), Application for 

Unemployment Benefits and 

Employment Service, is completed by a 

claimant for unemployment benefits 

once in a benefit year, at the time of first 

registration. Completion of Form UI–1 

or UI–1 (Internet) also registers an 

unemployment claimant for the RRB’s 

employment service. The RRB proposes 

no changes to Form UI–1 or UI–1 

(Internet). 

The RRB also utilizes Form UI–3, (or 

its Internet equivalent Form UI–3 

(Internet) Claim for Unemployment 

Benefits for use in claiming 

unemployment benefits for days of 

unemployment in a particular 

registration period, normally a period of 

14 days. The RRB proposes no changes 

to Form UI–3 or UI–3 (Internet). 

Completion of Forms UI–1, UI–1 

(Internet), UI–3 and UI–3 (Internet) is 

required to obtain or retain benefits. The 

number of responses required of each 

claimant varies, depending on their 

period of unemployment. The RRB 

estimates that approximately 9,977 

Form UI–1’s (9257 paper and 720 

Internet) will be filed annually. 

Completion time for Form UI–1 and UI–

1 (Internet) is estimated at 10 minutes. 

The RRB estimates that approximately 

74,326 Form UI–3’s (65,035 manual and 

9,291 Internet) will be filed annually. 

Completion time for Form UI–3 and the 

UI–3 (Internet) is estimated at 6 

minutes.
