The Social Security Fairness Act (SSFA), which was signed into law on January 5, 2025, eliminates the reduction previously applied to the Railroad Retirement annuities or Social Security benefits of individuals who also receive pensions from work not covered by Social Security. The Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) has prepared a list of questions and answers (Q&A) to describe how the SSFA impacts the computation of Railroad Retirement annuities and provide information related to the law’s implementation.
