The amount of the supplemental annuity shall be $45 plus an additional amount of $5 for each year of service that the individual has in excess of 25 years, but in no case shall the supplemental annuity exceed $70; (2) the supplement annuity provided by this subsection for an individual shall, with respect to any month, be reduced by the amount of the supplement pension, attributable to the employer’s contribution, that such individual is entitled to receive for that month under any other supplemental pension plan; (3) the supplemental annuity provided by this subsection shall terminate with such annuity accruing for the 16th month following enactment; (4) the provisions of Section 12 of the RRA of 1937 shall not operate to exclude the supplemental annuities provided for from income taxable pursuant to the Federal income tax provisions of the IRC of 1954. Section 2(a) amends Section 15 of the RRA of 1937 by adding subsection (b), which creates an account in the Treasury of the U.S. to be known as the Railroad Retirement Supplemental Account. At the end of 48 months following the enactment of the Act, the Railroad Retirement Board shall make a determination of whether the balance in such Account together with the anticipated income to the Account for the next succeeding 12 months will be sufficient to provide for the payment of the supplemental annuities provided for in Section 3(j) of the RRA of 1937. Section 3(a) states the amendment made by Section 1 of this Title shall be effective with respect to individuals whose annuities under Section 2 of the RRA of 1937 are first awarded on or after 7/1/66, provided that no supplemental annuity shall accrue for months before the calendar month following the month this Act is enacted. Section 3(b) provides that the Railroad Retirement Board is authorized to request the Sec. of Treasury to transfer from the Railroad Retirement Account to the credit of the Railroad Retirement Supplemental Account such money as the Board estimates would be necessary for the payment of the Supplemental annuities, provided for in Section 3(j) of the RRA of 1937, for the next six month following enactment of this Act, and for administrative expenses necessary in the administration of Section 3(j) until such time as an appropriation for such expenses is made. The Railroad Retirement Board shall request the Sec. of Treasury at any time before the expiration of one year following the enactment of this Act, to retransfer from the Railroad Retirement Supplemental Account to the credit of the Railroad Retirement Account the amount transferred to the Railroad Retirement Supplement Account, plus interest at a rate equal to the average rate of interest borne by all special obligations held by the Railroad Retirement Account on the last day of the FY ending on 6/30/66, rounded to the nearest multiple of 1/8 th of 1%. Title II - Amendments to the Railroad Retirement Act of 1937 to Provide an Increase in Certain Annuities under the Act Section 201(a)(1) amends Section 2(e) of the RRA of 1937 to state that the spouse’s annuity shall be computed without regard to the reduction in the individual’s annuity under the first two provisos in Section 3(a)(1) and without regard to the effect of Section 3(a)(2) on the annuity of the individual from whom such spouse’s annuity derives. Section 201(a)(2) amends Section 2 of the RRA of 1937 by adding subsection (i), which states the spouse’s annuity provided under subsections (e) and (h) shall be reduced in accordance with the first two provisos in Section 3(a)(1) except that the spouse’s annuity shall not be less than it would be had the RRA of 1937 not been amended in 1966. Section 201(b) amends Section 3(a) of the RRA of 1937 to provide the annuity shall be computed by multiplying an individual’s “years of service” by the following percentages of his “monthly compensation”: 3.58% of the first $50; 2.69% of the next $100; 1.79% of the next $300; and 1.67% of the remainder up to an amount equal to 1/12 of the current maximum annual taxable “wages” as defined in Section 3121 of the IRC of 1954. In cases where an individual is entitled to a benefit under Title II of the Social Security Act, the amount so computed shall be reduced by 6.55% of the amount of such Social Security benefit (disregarding any increases in such benefit based on recomputations other than for the correction of errors after such reduction is first applied and any increases derived from changes in the primary insurance amount through legislation enacted after the Social Security Amendments of 1965). In determining Social Security benefit amounts for the purpose of this subsection, if such individual’s average monthly wage is in excess of $400, only an average monthly wage of $400 shall be used. The amount of an annuity as computed under this subsection shall not be less than it would be had the RRA of 1937 not been amended in 1966. The annuity of an individual for a month with respect to which a supplemental annuity under subsection (j) accrues to him or her shall be computed or recomputed under the provisions of this subsection, or of subsection (e) of Section 3, as in effect before their amendment in 1966. If the application of the preceding provision of this paragraph would result in the amount of the annuity, plus the amount of a supplemental annuity (after adjustment under subsection (j) (2)) payable to an individual for a month being lower than the amount which would be payable as an annuity except for such preceding provision, the annuity shall be in an amount which together with the amount of the supplemental annuity would be no less than the amount that would be payable as an annuity but for such preceding provision. Section 201(c) amends Section 3(e) of the RRA of 1937 to state that in the case of an individual having a current connection with the railroad industry, the minimum annuity payable shall be whichever of the following is the least: (1) $5.35 multiplied by the number of his or her years of service; or (2) $89.35; or (3) 118% of his or her monthly compensation except that the minimum annuity so determined shall be reduced in accordance with the first two provisos in subsection (a)(1) of Section 3, but shall not be less than it would be had the RRA of 1937 not been amended in 1966. Section 201(d) amends Section 5(h) of the RRA of 1937 to provide whenever annuities payable for a month with respect to the death of an employee, the total annuities are more than $38.84 and exceed either (a) $207.15, or (b) an amount equal to 2⅔ times such employee’s basic amount, whichever of such amounts is the lesser, such total of annuities shall, after any deductions under subsection (i), be reduced to such lesser amount or to $38.84, whichever is greater. Whenever such total of annuities is less than $18.14, such total shall, prior to any deductions under subsection (i), be increased to $18.14. The share of any individual in an amount so determined shall be reduced in accordance with the first two provisions in Section 3(a)(1) except that the share of such individual shall not be less than it would be had the RRA of 1937 not been amended in 1966. Section 201(e) amends Section 5(1)(10) of the RRA of 1937 to state for an employee who will have been partially insured, or completely insured solely by virtue of paragraph (7)(i) or (7) (ii), or both: the sum of (A) 52.4% of his or her average monthly remuneration, up to and including $75; plus (B) 12.8% of such average monthly remuneration exceeding $75 and up to and including $450; plus (C) 12% of such average monthly remuneration exceeding $450 and up to and including an amount equal to 1/12 of the current maximum annual taxable “wages” as defined in Section 3121 of the IRC of 1954, plus (D) 1% of the sum of (A) plus (B) plus (C) multiplied by the number of years after 1936 in each of which the compensation, wages, or both, paid to him or her will have been equal to $200 or more; if the basic amount thus computed is less than $18.14, it shall be increased to $18.14. Section 201(f) amends Section 5 of the RRA of 1937 by adding subsection (m), which states an annuity payable under this Section to an individual shall be reduced in accordance with the first two provisos in Section 3(a)(1) of the RRA of 1937 except that the amount of the annuity shall not be less than it would be had this Act not been amended in 1966. Section 201(g) provides that all pensions under Section 6 of the RRA of 1937, all joint and survivor annuities awarded before the month following the month of enactment, all widows’ and widowers’ insurance annuities which began to accrue before the second month following the month of enactment, and are payable in the amount of a spouse’s annuity to which the widow or widower was entitled, and all annuities under the Railroad Retirement At of 1935 are increased by 7%, but a widow’s or widower’s annuity in an amount formerly received as a spouse’s annuity shall not be increased to an amount above $74.80. Where an individual is entitled to a benefit under Title II of the Social Security Act, the additional amount payable shall be reduced by 6.55% of the amount of such Social Security benefit. In determining Social Security benefit amounts, if such individual’s average monthly wage is in excess of $400, only the average monthly wage of $400 shall be used. Section 202 states that the amendments made by Section 201 shall be effective with respect to annuities accruing for months after the month of enactment, and for pensions due in calendar month after the next month following the month of enactment. Amendments made by subsection (e) shall be effective as to lump-sum benefits under Section 5(f)(1) of the RRA of 1937 with respect to deaths occurring on or after the date of enactment.
