Section A -- Financial Statistics

The tables in this section generally present data on financial operations under the Railroad RetiremeUnemployment Insurance Acts for fiscal year 2011 and for varying numbers of prior years. The main source of financing the railroad retirement program is a payroll tax paid by employers and emplretirement taxes and benefits are paid on a two-tier basis. Employers and employees pay tier I taxes at social security taxes, and the amount of earnings subject to the tax corresponds to the prevailing social maximum. Tier II taxes finance benefits payable over and above social security levels, but earnings subjerestricted to the social security taxable maximums which would have been applicable under continuat

social security law. Both employers and employees pay tier II taxes, but at different rates. 

In calendar years 2010 and 2011, a tier I tax rate of 7.65 percent for employers applied to compensation up per year. The employee tier I tax rate was also 7.65 percent in 2010. The employee tier I tax rate was redupercentage points to 5.65 percent in 2011 by the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, anAct of 2010, which also provided for the trust funds to receive from general revenue amounts equivalent to in employee taxes. The tier I rates include taxes that finance the hospital insurance portion of Medicare; th

both employees and employers was 1.45 percent for 2010 and 2011. There is no limit to earnings subject tinsurance portion of the tier I tax rate. The tier II tax rate is determined annually from a tax rate schedule based on the average account benaverage account benefits ratio is the average for the 10 fiscal years preceding the calendar year of the market value of the assets in the Railroad Retirement Account and the National Railroad Retirement Investfor years before 2002, the Social Security Equivalent Benefit Account) as of the close of each fiscal ybenefits and administrative expenses paid from those accounts during the fiscal year. Employer tax rates 8.2 percent to 22.1 percent. Employee tax rates can range from 0 percent to 4.9 percent. In calendar years the tier II tax rates paid by employers and employees were 12.1 percent and 3.9 percent, respectively, and annual earnings up to $79,200. 
Additional income is derived from Federal income taxes on tier I, tier II and vested dual benefits, from inte

funds and from the financial interchange with the social security system. The experience under the latter presented in table A3. Under this arrangement, the social security trust funds are, in effect, credited witpayroll and income taxes they would have received, and charged with the additional benefits and administwould have paid if railroad employment had been covered under the social security program, with allowanFinancial interchange determinations are made jointly by the Board, the Social Security Administration, for Medicare & Medicaid Services on an annual basis. Separate determinations are made with respect to tSurvivors Insurance, Disability Insurance, and Hospital Insurance Trust Funds. The railroad unemployment and sickness benefit programs are financed by contributions from railroad emp

on a percentage of their employees' taxable earnings. In 2010 and 2011, the taxable earnings base for those the first $1,330 of each employee's monthly earnings. Beginning in 1991, each employer's contribution ratbased. Temporary extended unemployment benefits authorized by the American Recovery and Reinvestm(Recovery Act) were financed by a $20,000,000 congressional appropriation. The Worker, Homeownersh

Assistance Act of 2009 (WHBAA) contained an appropriation of $175,000,000 to extend the provisions of 

Act by one year. The Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 WHBAA to extend the temporary extended unemployment benefits provisions an additional year. Fiscal years begin October 1 of the prior calendar year and end September 30. In the tables, detailed figures may not add to totals shown because of rounding.

NOTE.-- Number of beneficiaries represents all individuals paid benefits in year. In total number for each year, beneficiaries are counted only once, even though they may have 

received more than one type of benefit. In fiscal year 2011, 7,600 individuals received both retirement and survivor benefits, 900 employees received both unemployment and 

sickness benefits, and 2,800 employees received benefits under both the Railroad Retirement Act and the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act. These figures are partly 

estimated, and totals for earlier years are similarly adjusted.
