Fraud and Abuse Hotline
Call the toll-free Fraud and Abuse Hot Line if you have reason to believe
that someone is receiving railroad retirement or unemployment-sickness benefits
to which (s)he is not entitled; that persons responsible for the financial
affairs of minors or incompetent beneficiaries are misappropriating benefits; or
that a doctor, hospital, or other provider of health care services is performing
unnecessary or inappropriate services or is billing Medicare for services not
received. You may also use the Hot Line to report any suspected misconduct by a
Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) employee. The Hot Line has been installed by the
RRB's Inspector General to receive any evidence of fraud or abuse of the RRB's
benefit programs.
Call (toll-free) 1-800-772-4258. Or you may send your complaints in writing to:
Railroad Retirement Board
OIG, Hot Line Officer
844 North Rush Street
Chicago, Illinois 60611-2092.
Please do not call the Inspector General's Hot Line with questions about
eligibility requirements, delayed claims, or similar problems. Such matters
should be directed to the nearest RRB field office.
