Railroad employees considering retirement should familiarize themselves with the Railroad Retirement Board’s (RRB) annuity application process. Understanding how the process works can prevent delays and ensure that annuity payments begin as soon as possible after retirement.
The RRB has prepared a list of questions and answers to describe the annuity application process for railroad employees, their spouses, and survivors. The Q&A also provides important information, such as the type of documents required to file annuity applications. Please visit the RRB website for more information.
