            Rights to benefits under the Railroad Retirement Act also carry responsibilities for reporting work, earnings, and certain other events that may affect your right to receive disability benefits. The RRB informs you of events you are obligated to report, and, if you do not comply, benefit overpayments can occur that have to be repaid, sometimes with interest and penalties. In some cases, failure to report may constitute a criminal violation under Title 45, U.S.C., section 231(l) or other criminal or civil statutes of law. You should be aware that the RRB conducts computer matching programs with other Federal, State, and local government agencies to identify unreported work and earnings.
 
In addition, the RRB sends annual reminders to those under full retirement age (FRA). As such, you may receive Form RL-4 (if you are an employee under FRA) and/or Form RL-7 (if you are an employee under FRA and also have earnings under the annual limits).
 
If you have questions about your disability annuity or other questions about RRB benefits and programs, additional information is available on the RRB's website at www.rrb.gov or by contacting an RRB representative toll-free at (877) 772-5772.
