The Railroad Retirement Board's district office in New Orleans is scheduled to reopen on Monday, December 12, 2005. Telephone service and mail delivery to the New Orleans office will also resume on that date. Phone calls and mail delivery had been diverted to the RRB's Little Rock and Houston offices, respectively, while the New Orleans office was closed.

The New Orleans office will resume limited in-person service in December 2005 to various locations in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida for the convenience of persons who are not able to utilize the services of the office in New Orleans. Customers needing such in-person service should contact the office for an appointment. The address, telephone, and fax numbers of the office are:

U.S. Railroad Retirement Board
500 Poydras Street, Room 1045
New Orleans, LA 70130
Tel. (504) 589-2597
Fax (504) 589-4899

The New Orleans office appreciates the patience and understanding that its customers have shown these past few months and wants to assure all of them that the level of service to which they were accustomed prior to Hurricane Katrina will continue.
