The Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) has prepared a helpful list of Questions & Answers regarding the Railroad Employee Equity and Fairness (REEF) Act, which was recently signed into law. Under the new law, benefits paid under the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA) will no longer be reduced by 5.7% due to sequestration. Some members may be eligible for possible retroactive benefits payments on previously reduced unemployment and/or sickness benefits. For more information, please visit this Q&A on the RRB website.
