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 2014 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 2013 and 2014, a tier I tax rate of 7.65 percent for employers applied to compensation up to $113,700

and $117,000 per year, respectively. The tier I rates include taxes that finance the hospital insurance portion of Medicare; 

that tax rate for both employees and employers was 1.45 percent for 2013 and 2014. 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 year 2013, the tier II 

tax rates paid by employers and employees were 12.6 percent and 4.4 percent, respectively, and were levied on annual 

earnings up to $84,300. During 2014, tier II tax rates were unchanged, and were levied on earnings up to $87,000.
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 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. In 2013 and 2014, the taxable earnings base for those programs was 

the first $1,405 and $1,440, respectively, of each employee's monthly earnings. Beginning in 1991, each employer's 

contribution rate is experience based. Temporary extended unemployment benefits authorized by the American Recovery 

and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) were financed by a $20,000,000 congressional appropriation. The Worker, 

Homeownership and Business Assistance Act of 2009 (WHBAA) 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, the Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011, the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job 

Creation Act of 2012, and the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 each continued the special unemployment benefit 

provision for periods ranging from two months to one year, for a total extension of three years.

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 2014, 7,200 individuals received both retirement and survivor benefits, 700 employees received both unemployment and 

sickness benefits, and 1,800 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.

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

 vested dual benefits. The loan was repaid in entirety in December 2013. 8 The Railroad Retirement Account balance reflects (a) the current net difference between Board payments of social security benefits and the receipt of reimbursements for such payments,

 (b) liabilities for uncashed check credits received from U.S. Treasury, and (c) credits for undistributed payment returns and recoveries. The Dual Benefits Payments Account balance

 does not carry over to the following year. 9 Established October 1, 1984, to keep track of the financing and payment of social security level portions of railroad retirement benefits. 10 Transfers to or from OASDHI Trust Funds under section 7(c)(2) of the 1974 Railroad Retirement Act. 11 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. 12 Established February 1, 2002, for investment of railroad retirement assets. 13 Source: National Railroad Retirement Investment Trust. 14 Established October 1, 1981, to keep track of the financing and payment of vested dual benefits. 15 Transfers from U.S. Treasury under section 15(d) of the Railroad Retirement Act of 1974 and Federal income tax transfers under section 72(r) of the Internal Revenue Code as amended.
