The Railroad Retirement Board’s mission is to administer retirement/survivor and
unemployment/sickness insurance benefit programs for railroad workers and their
families under the Railroad Retirement Act and the Railroad Unemployment
Insurance Act. These programs provide income protection during old age and in
the event of disability, death or temporary unemployment and sickness. The
Railroad Retirement Board also administers aspects of the Medicare program and
has administrative responsibilities under the Social Security Act and the
Internal Revenue Code.
In carrying out its mission, the Railroad Retirement Board will pay benefits
to the right people, in the right amounts, in a timely manner, and will take
appropriate action to safeguard our customers’ trust funds. The Railroad
Retirement Board will treat every person who comes into contact with the agency
with courtesy and concern, and respond to all inquiries promptly, accurately and
clearly.
