Section B -- Retirement and Survivor Benefits

This section presents data on retirement and survivor benefits provided by the Railroad Retirement Act. Regular retirement 

annuities are payable to employees with 10 or more years of railroad service, or 5 years if such service was performed after 

1995, who qualify on the basis of age or permanent disability. Age annuities may begin as early as age 60 for an employee 

with 30 or more years of service or at age 62 with 5-29 years of service. Disability annuities are payable at any age if the 

employee is permanently disabled for any regular employment. Employees with a current connection with the railroad 

industry may receive annuities based on disability for their regular occupation if they have attained age 60 and have at least 

10 years of service, or at any age if they have at least 20 years of service.

Supplemental annuities are payable to employees age 65 or older with 25 or more years of railroad service who have a 

current connection with the railroad industry, and some service prior to October 1981, and whose regular annuities were 

awarded after June 30, 1966. Employees retiring after June 1974 with 30 or more years of service are eligible to receive 

supplemental annuities as early as age 60.

Annuities can be paid to spouses of employees who retired with 30 years of service when the employee attains age 60 and 

the spouse either attains age 60 or has a child in care. In other cases, the spouse of a retired employee can receive an annuity 

when the employee attains age 62 and the spouse either attains age 62 or has a child in care. Annuities may be payable to 

the divorced spouse of a retired employee if their marriage lasted for at least 10 consecutive years, both have attained age 

62 for a full month and the divorced spouse is not currently married. Effective August 17, 2007, a divorced spouse can 

receive an annuity even if the employee has not retired, provided they have been divorced for a period of not less than 2 

years, the employee and former spouse are at least age 62, and the employee is fully insured under the Social Security Act 

using combined railroad and social security earnings.

Survivor annuities are payable to widow(er)s at age 60, or as early as age 50 if they are totally disabled. Under certain 

conditions, annuities are also payable to surviving children under age 18, ages 18-19 attending school full-time, or age 18 

or over who became totally disabled before age 22, to widowed mothers (fathers) with young or disabled children in their 

care, and to dependent parents. Annuities may also, under certain conditions, be payable to remarried widow(er)s and 

divorced widow(er)s. 
Annuities are calculated under two-tier formulas. The tier I portion of an employee's regular annuity is calculated under a 

formula similar to the one used for social security benefits. This benefit is based on the combined employee's taxable 

railroad compensation and social security-covered wages, and is reduced by the amount of any social security benefit

received. The tier II portion is based on railroad service only and computed under separate formulas.

Spouse and survivor benefits are also computed according to tiers. A spouse tier I benefit equals one-half of the employee's 

tier I portion, before reduction for the employee's social security benefit, if any. The spouse's tier I amount is reduced by 

the amount of any social security benefit the spouse receives. The tier II amount is also based on the employee's tier II 

amount. In the case of a divorced spouse, only a tier I benefit is payable.

The survivor tier I amount is based on the deceased employee's combined railroad retirement and social security earnings 

and computed under the social security survivor benefit formulas. December 2001 legislation established an “initial 

minimum amount” which is based on the two-tier annuity amount that would have been payable to the railroad employee at 

the time the widow(er)'s annuity is awarded. The initial minimum amount is computed with a widow(er)'s tier II amount 

equal to 100 percent of the employee's tier II amount. Under prior law, the widow(er)'s tier II amount was equal to 50 

percent of the employee's tier II amount; only the tier I amount equaled 100 percent. Widow(er)s' annuities computed on 

the basis of the new initial minimum amount will not be adjusted for annual cost-of-living increases until the annuity amount 

is exceeded by the annuity amount the widow(er) would have been paid under prior law, with all interim cost-of-living 

increases otherwise payable. Each surviving child receives a tier II equal to 15 percent of the deceased employee’s tier II, 

and each surviving parent receives 35 percent. The total tier II amount for a survivor family is subject to a minimum of 35 

percent and a maximum of 130 percent of the employee tier II benefit. In the case of remarried widow(er)s, and divorced 

widow(er)s, only a tier I amount is payable.

In addition to their regular annuities, employees, spouses, and widow(er)s who were eligible for social security benefits and 

who met certain vesting requirements could have been paid an additional annuity amount referred to as a vested dual benefit 

payment. This payment protects, in part, dual benefit equities previously established on the basis of credits acquired prior 

to 1975. Since August 1981, the award of vested dual benefit payments is restricted to vested employees with dual coverage 

on their own earnings.
Annuity amounts are subject to various types of reductions. Regular annuities to employees, spouses and widow(er)s are 

reduced if they begin before the normal retirement age, except for those payable to disabled employees, to certain employees 

with 30 years of service and their spouses, or to spouses or widow(er)s with children in their care. Other miscellaneous 

reductions in annuities include reductions for receipt of social security benefits and deductions caused by earnings in excess 

of the annual exempt amount.

Lump-sum death benefits are payable to certain survivors of employees with at least 10 years of total railroad service, or at 

least 5 years of service after 1995, and a current connection with the railroad industry. A lump-sum death benefit is payable 

at the time of an employee's death only if there are no survivors immediately eligible for monthly benefits. Otherwise, a 

deferred lump-sum benefit can be paid 12 months later if the total of monthly benefits paid the survivor during the year is 

less than the full lump-sum amount would have been.

Another lump-sum survivor benefit, the residual payment, can be made if no other benefits based at least in part on a 

deceased employee's railroad service will be payable in the future. The residual lump-sum payment is reduced by the amount 

of all retirement benefits which the employee received based on his or her railroad work.

The Pension Protection Act of 2006 was signed into law August 17, 2006. The Act, effective August 17, 2007, provided 

divorced spouses a tier I railroad retirement annuity independent of the employee’s actual entitlement, and continued the 

court-ordered partitioned portion of tier II benefit payments to former spouses after the death of the employee. Legislation 

modifying partition payments enacted into law on December 23, 2008, added the partitioned portion of the vested dual 

benefit and supplemental benefit to those components of a court-ordered partition award which remain payable after the 

employee’s death. It also allowed for payment of court-ordered partitioned payments where the employee is not entitled to 

an annuity if (1) the employee has 120 months of railroad service or 60 months of service after 1995, and (2) both the 

employee and spouse or divorced spouse are age 62 for a full month, or, if the employee is deceased, the employee would 

be age 62 for a full month.
All current-payment status tables and award tables are based on universe data. In tables containing rounded figures, 

percentages are uniformly computed from unrounded figures; also, detailed figures may not add to totals shown because of 

rounding. Data for awards of employee and spouse annuities in calendar year 2018 (tables B7, B8, B12 and B18) reflect 

the effects of recertifications through March 31, 2019.

Some of the more important terms used above and in the tables are discussed below:

1. An employee with 12 months of railroad service in the 30 months preceding retirement or death generally has a 

current connection. An employee whose last 12 months of railroad service occurred prior to the 30 months before 

retirement or death may maintain a current connection if the employee did not perform any regular employment 

between the end of the 30-month period containing the last 12 months of railroad service and the month of retirement 

or death. A current connection may, in certain circumstances, be deemed for supplemental and survivor annuity 

purposes, if an employee had 25 years of service and was involuntarily terminated from rail service without fault on 

or after October 1, 1975.

2. Under the special minimum guaranty, monthly benefits under the Railroad Retirement Act are equal to at least the 

amount the social security system would pay on the basis of combined railroad and social security credits, less 

amounts actually paid by the social security system. Retirement annuities computed under the special minimum 

guaranty may include allowances for family members who could not receive benefits directly under the Railroad 

Retirement Act.

3. Immediate retirements refer to employee annuities which began in the calendar year in which the employee last 

worked for a railroad or in the following year. All others are classified as deferred.

4. Full retirement age gradually increases, from age 65 to 67, for those born before between 1937 and 1960. It is age 

67 for those born after 1959 and age 65 for those born before 1938.

5. The average age of beneficiaries is computed as of the end of the fiscal year for those in current-payment status on 

that date and as of the annuity beginning date for those awarded annuities during the year.

Annuitants full retirement age and over originally awarded a disability annuity are included in the employee age and service 

counts because a disability annuity converts to an age and service annuity when the annuitant attains full retirement age.

1

 A disability annuity ends when the retiree attains full retirement age, at which time the annuity converts to an age and service annuity. Consequently, these annuitants are receiving age and

 and service annuities. Full retirement age gradually increases, from age 65 to 67, for those born between 1937 and 1960. It is age 67 for those born after 1959 and age 65 for those

 born before 1938.

2

 Retirement is considered immediate if the annuity began in the calendar year of employee's last railroad service or in the following year; all others are considered deferred.

3

 Excludes interim widows' annuities. 

4

 Includes 2,052 annuities now payable as aged widow(er)s' annuities.

1 Full retirement age gradually increases, from age 65 to 67, for those born between 1937 and 1960. It is age 67 for those born after 1959 and age 65 for those born before 1938. 2 A disability annuity ends when the retiree attains full retirement age, at which time the annuity converts to an age and service annuity. Consequently, these annuitants

are receiving age and service annuities.

3 Excludes supplemental annuities and social security benefits.

4 Tier II based on total service and 60 months of highest compensation.

5 Under a special minimum guaranty provision, railroad families will not receive less in monthly benefits than they would have if railroad earnings were covered by

social security rather than railroad retirement laws.

6 Averages are after court-ordered partitions.

Table B12.--Employee annuities in current-payment status on December 31, 2018, and awarded in calendar year 2018, by last railroad employer - Continued

NOTE.-- Only employers with 100 or more annuitants in current payment status on December 31, 2018, are shown individually. Data for companies which ceased reporting 

service and compensation for their own employees by the end of 2018 are combined with data for the currently reporting employer. Employers no longer covered by the Railroad 

Retirement Act are shown individually if they still had 100 or more retired employees on the Board's rolls on December 31, 2018. Grand total includes employees for whom a last 

railroad employer could not be identified. Railroad annuity amounts include regular and supplemental annuities. Beginning with 2017 data, railroads have been classified by the 

employer's function rather than class since operating revenue data is not available. For a detailed explanation, please see the introduction to the Section D -- Employment and 

Compensation section. The new categories are listed in this table.

 1 A disability annuity ends when the retiree attains full retirement age, at which time the annuity converts to an age and service annuity. Consequently, these annuitants are receiving age and service

 annuities. Full retirement age gradually increases, from age 65 to 67, for those born between 1937 and 1960. It is age 67 for those born after 1959 and age 65 for those born before 1938.

2

 Includes employees with a divorced spouse(s) (but no spouse) on the rolls.

3

 Monthly amount based on social security formulas, which include allowances for family members not eligible for railroad annuities.

NOTE.--Data exclude families where a spouse annuity was in current-payment status but the employee annuity was being temporarily withheld on December 31, 2018. Amounts exclude divorced spouse

annuities.

1 Includes employees with a divorced spouse(s) (but no spouse) on the rolls.

2 Excludes divorced spouse annuities.

3 Less than 0.5 percent.

NOTE.--Data exclude families where a spouse annuity was in current-payment status but the employee annuity was being temporarily withheld on December 31, 2018. Under the railroad retirement 

formulas, the highest amount that could be paid to an employee alone who began work on January 1 of the year (s)he attained age 22 and retired at age 65 in December 2018, was $5,134 if a 

supplemental annuity was also payable and $5,091 if not. If the employee had a spouse eligible for an annuity, the corresponding family maximums were $7,564 and $7,521, respectively. Employees 

retiring at a later age or beginning work earlier could be entitled to higher benefits.
