            The spouse or former spouse is responsible for informing the RRB in writing of any name and address changes. When the partition award becomes payable, the RRB will notify the spouse or former spouse at the most recent address contained in records maintained under the employee's social security number.  The RRB does not cross reference such changes with any changes reported by the spouse or former spouse for any other earnings records on which he or she may have entitlement under the RRA.  Failure to report any such change without referencing the employee's social security number could result in the loss of payments to the spouse or former spouse.
