Section A -- Financial Statistics

The tables in this section generally present data on financial operations under the Railroad Retirement and Railroad 

Unemployment Insurance Acts for fiscal year 2020 and for varying numbers of prior years.

The main source of financing the railroad retirement program is a payroll tax paid by employers and employees. Railroad 

retirement taxes and benefits are paid on a two-tier basis. Employers and employees pay tier I taxes at the same rate as 

social security taxes, subject to the prevailing social security taxable maximum. Tier II taxes finance benefits payable over 

and above social security levels, but earnings subject to the tax are restricted to the social security taxable maximums which 

would have been applicable under continuation of pre-1977 social security law. Both employers and employees pay tier II 

taxes, but at different rates.

In calendar years 2019 and 2020, a tier I tax rate of 7.65 percent for employers and employees applied to compensation up 

to $132,900 and $137,700 per year, respectively. The tier I rates include taxes that finance the hospital insurance portion of 

Medicare; that tax rate for both employers and employees was 1.45 percent for 2019 and 2020. There is no limit to earnings 

subject to the hospital insurance portion of the tier I tax rate. Beginning in 2013, employees pay an additional 0.9 percent 

on earnings above $200,000 (for those who file an individual return) or $250,000 (for those who file a joint return).

The tier II tax rate is determined annually from a tax rate schedule based on the average account benefits ratio. The average 

account benefits ratio is the average for the 10 fiscal years preceding the calendar year of the ratio of the fair market value 

of the assets in the Railroad Retirement Account and the National Railroad Retirement Investment Trust (and for years 

before 2002, the Social Security Equivalent Benefit Account) as of the close of each fiscal year to the total benefits and 

administrative expenses paid from those accounts during the fiscal year. Employer tax rates can range from 8.2 percent to 

22.1 percent. Employee tax rates can range from 0 percent to 4.9 percent. In calendar years 2019 and 2020, the tier II tax 

rates paid by employers and employees were 13.1 percent and 4.9 percent, respectively, and were levied on annual earnings 

up to $98,700 in 2019 and $102,300 in 2020.
Additional income is derived from Federal income taxes on tier I, tier II and vested dual benefits, from interest on invested

funds and from the financial interchange with the social security system. The experience under the latter arrangement is 

presented in table A3. Under this arrangement, the social security trust funds are, in effect, credited with the additional 

payroll and income taxes they would have received, and charged with the additional benefits and administrative costs they 

would have paid if railroad employment had been covered under the social security program, with allowances for interest. 

Financial interchange determinations are made jointly by the Railroad Retirement Board, the Social Security Administration, 

and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services on an annual basis. Separate determinations are made with respect to 

the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance, Disability Insurance, and Hospital Insurance Trust Funds.

The railroad unemployment and sickness benefit programs are financed by contributions from railroad employers, based on 

a percentage of their employees' taxable earnings. The taxable earnings base for those programs was the first $1,605 in 

2019 and $1,655 in 2020 of each employee's monthly earnings. Beginning in 1991, each employer's contribution rate is 

experience based. 

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act of 2020, enacted March 27, 2020, authorized payment 

of special extended unemployment benefits, enhanced unemployment benefits to those that received regular unemployment 

benefits between July 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020, and waived the waiting period for unemployment and sickness benefits. 

Special extended unemployment benefits, authorized under the CARES Act, were financed by the remaining funds originally 

allocated to the Railroad Retirement Board by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the Worker,

Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009. Under the CARES Act enhanced unemployment benefits were 

funded by an appropriation of $425,000,000 and waiting period waiver benefits were funded by an appropriation of 

$50,000,000.

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.

Fiscal Year

1 Net of U.S. Treasury adjustments for payroll tax refunds to certain carriers and their employees for prior periods. Includes Federal income tax transfers under section 72(r) of the Internal

Revenue Code as amended. In calendar years 2011-2012, Social Security Equivalent Benefit Account includes general revenue transfers under the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance

Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 and the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012, respectively. The final reconciliation for calendar years 2011-2012 occurred

in June 2015. In fiscal year 2012, Social Security Equivalent Benefit Account includes a one-time general revenue transfer under the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act of 2010. 2 Net of interest on U.S. Treasury adjustments for payroll tax refunds (see footnote 1). 3 Under the Railroad Retirement and Survivors' Improvement Act of 2001, as amended, the portion of the Railroad Retirement Account not needed to pay current administrative expenses

is to be transferred to the National Railroad Retirement Investment Trust (Trust). The Trust may transfer funds back to the Railroad Retirement Account for payment of benefits. The 

balance of the Social Security Equivalent Benefit (SSEB) Account not needed to pay current benefits and administrative expenses is to be transferred to the Trust or to the Railroad 

Retirement Account. The SSEB Account transferred funds to the Trust in fiscal year 2003 and to the Railroad Retirement Account thereafter. In fiscal years 2017 and 2020, the Railroad 

Retirement Account transferred funds to the SSEB Account to pay benefits. In fiscal years 2018 and 2019, the SSEB Account transferred funds not needed to pay current benefits and 

administrative expenses to the Railroad Retirement Account. 4 Includes interest. 5 Effective January 1, 2002, supplemental benefits are paid from the Railroad Retirement Account. 6 Adjustments in benefit payments charged to the Social Security Equivalent Benefit Account as compared to actual financial interchange benefits, with interest. This adjustment was

discontinued in fiscal year 2017. 7 Due to delay in enactment of a continuing resolution, the Dual Benefits Payments Account borrowed $4,500,000 from the Railroad Retirement Account in October 2013 in order to pay

vested dual benefits. The loan was repaid in entirety in December 2013. 8 Established October 1, 1984, to keep track of the financing and payment of social security level portions of railroad retirement benefits. 9 Transfers to or from OASDHI Trust Funds under section 7(c)(2) of the 1974 Railroad Retirement Act. 10 Advances, including interest, from U.S. Treasury to offset lag in receipt of financial interchange funds under section 7(c)(4) of the 1974 Railroad Retirement Act as amended. 11 Established February 1, 2002, for investment of railroad retirement assets. 12 Source: National Railroad Retirement Investment Trust. 13 Established October 1, 1981, to keep track of the financing and payment of vested dual benefits.

NOTE.--Under the financial interchange provision of the Railroad Retirement Act, the Railroad Retirement Board, the Commissioner of Social Security, and the Secretary of 

Health and Human Services make annual determinations of the amounts which would place the Federal Old-Age and Survivors, Disability, and Hospital Insurance Trust Funds 

in the same position in which they would have been had railroad employment been covered by the Social Security and Federal Insurance Contributions Acts. Transfers are to 

or from the Railroad Retirement Account in all years through fiscal year 1984; beginning fiscal year 1985, transfers are to or from the Social Security Equivalent Benefit Account. 

All figures are net after adjustment for changes in prior years.
