RB-17b
 

This section describes the different events that may affect your disability benefits. You should be aware of these different events and notify us immediately if any of them apply to you.

The events you should report can affect:
                        - the amount of your monthly payment; or
                        - the total amount that can be paid to you during the year; or
                        - whether you can continue to be paid at all; or
                        - whether your Medicare coverage can continue.

Keep this information handy and refer to this part occasionally to see if you need to report any event to the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB).

The following events must be promptly reported to the RRB:
                        - If you work for any employer, railroad or nonrailroad, or perform any self-employment work.
                        - If your condition improves, or your doctor tells you that you are able to work.
                        - If you are confined in a jail, prison, or other penal institution or correctional facility due to a conviction for a criminal offense.

These events must be reported in addition to any other events you must report described in booklet RB-17, "Survivor Annuities".
