Section C -- Unemployment and Sickness Benefits

This section presents data on unemployment and sickness benefits paid to qualified railroad employees under the Railroad 

Unemployment Insurance Act. Railroad unemployment and sickness benefits, by law, are based on a July-June benefit 

year. Therefore, railroad unemployment and sickness insurance benefit operations are presented on a benefit year basis, 

rather than on a fiscal year basis.

Normal benefits of each type may be paid for as many as 130 days in a period of 26 or more weeks but may not exceed the 

total creditable base year compensation of the beneficiary. After exhaustion of normal benefits, an employee with 10 or 

more years of railroad service may receive additional benefits in an extended benefit period provided he(she) has not 

voluntarily retired, has not left work without good cause (for unemployment benefits only), and is less than 65 years old 

(for sickness benefits only). Extended benefits are paid in a 13-week period.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act), enacted February 17, 2009, authorized payment 

of special extended unemployment benefits to railroad employees with jobless claims during the period from July 1, 2008, 

to June 30, 2009. Key provisions related to railroad unemployment benefits include the following:

• Railroad employees who previously were not eligible for extended unemployment benefits because they did not 

have 10 years of railroad service may be eligible for up to 65 days within an extended period consisting of 7 

consecutive 2-week registration periods.

• Railroad employees who were previously eligible for extended unemployment benefits of up to 65 days may be 

eligible for extended benefits of up to 130 days within an extended period consisting of 13 consecutive 2-week 

registration periods. 

• The special extended unemployment benefit periods can begin no later than December 31, 2009.

Enacted on November 6, 2009, the Worker, Homeownership and Business Assistance Act of 2009 contained an 

appropriation of $175,000,000 to extend the provisions of the Recovery Act by one year. The Tax Relief, Unemployment 

Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 (enacted December 17, 2010), the Temporary Payroll Tax Cut 

Continuation Act of 2011 (enacted December 23, 2011), the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 

(enacted February 22, 2012), and the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (enacted January 2, 2013) each continued the 

special unemployment benefit provision for periods ranging from two months to one year, for a total extension of three

years.
An employee was qualified for benefit year 2012-2013 if in the preceding calendar (base) year his(her) compensation for 

railroad work, excluding earnings over $1,330 a month, was $3,325 or more. Additionally, if the employee was a new 

entrant to the industry in the base year, he(she) must have had at least five months of service in that year. For a longservice employee (one with 10 or more years of railroad service) a benefit year could be started early if he(she) was not 

currently qualified but would be qualified for the next benefit year. Also, an extended benefit period could continue 

beyond the usual June 30 ending date of a benefit year and thus extend the duration of the employee's benefit year. 

Therefore, the tables in this section on payments for unemployment and sickness that occurred during the July 2012 - June 

2013 period include benefits that technically were payable in extensions of the 2011-2012 benefit year or accelerations of 

the 2013-2014 benefit year as well as those payable for the general benefit year (2012-2013).

Table C1 shows the principal figures for operations in benefit year 2012-2013 and other recent years. Figures in this table 

refer to payments made and other administrative actions taken under the unemployment and sickness programs during the 

designated benefit year. Table C2 provides various unemployment and sickness benefit and beneficiary data for benefit 

years 1983-1984 through 2012-2013. Tables C3 through C7 contain benefit data for unemployment and sickness which 

occurred in claim periods paid during the particular benefit years stated in the table headings or to which reference is made

in the footnotes. Table C8 is a graph of unemployment and sickness beneficiaries by month for benefit year 2012-2013. 

Table C9 shows the distribution of experience based contribution rates, by number of employers, for 2013.

Payments for maternity under a separate program were discontinued by amendments adopted in 1968. However, 

provision was made for payment of sickness benefits to female employees prevented from working because of pregnancy 

or childbirth. The sickness benefit data in this section include such payments.

The unemployment and sickness beneficiary tables for benefit year 2012-2013 include all payments made by June 30, 

2013. Benefits are paid for compensable days of unemployment or sickness at a daily rate equal to 60 percent of the 

employee's last daily rate of pay in the base year, subject to a $66.00 maximum and a $12.70 minimum in benefit year 

2012-2013.

In accordance with the Balanced Budget and Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended by the Budget Control Act of 2011,

unemployment and sickness benefit amounts reflect a reduction of 9.2% under sequestration for days of unemployment 

and sickness after February 28, 2013.

The most important qualifications of the data for each table are shown in footnotes to the table.

1 Through benefit year 1985-1986, beneficiaries per 100 qualified employees based on data for current general benefit year; exhaustions per 100 beneficiaries refer to

 normal benefits only. 2 Compensable days data was first used in benefit year 1986-1987. Previous years data refers to creditable days. 3 Benefit for full week of unemployment or sickness. 4 Includes benefits under Title V of the Emergency Unemployment Compensation Act of 1991, as amended, which provided extended unemployment benefits to

 claimants with less than 10 years of service and additional extended benefits to those with 10-14 years. 5 Includes benefits under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, and the Worker, Homeownership and Business Assistance Act of 2009, as amended,

 which provided extended unemployment benefits to claimants with less than 10 years of service and additional extended benefits to those with 10 or more years of service. 6 In accordance with the Balanced Budget and Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended by the Budget Control Act of 2011, amounts reflect a reduction of 9.2% under 

 sequestration for days of unemployment and sickness after February 28, 2013.

NOTE.--Data include all unemployment and sickness in claims periods begun in the year. For this reason, and because adjustments of benefit amounts have occurred after 

tabulating cutoff dates, the total amounts of benefits differ substantially from the figures in Tables A1 and C1. Beginning in benefit year 1986-1987 the table was compiled using 

different source materials than those used in previous years.
