If
you are sick or injured,
you may be eligible to receive sickness benefits from the
Railroad Retirement Board (RRB). This booklet provides information
about the requirements for receiving sickness benefits,
the amount of benefits payable, and procedures for claiming
benefits.
To
receive sickness benefits,
you must complete and file the enclosed Form
SI-1a/b, Application for Sickness Benefits, within
10 days from the first day you want to claim benefits. An
application is considered filed on the day it is received
by the RRB; if you file late you may lose benefits.
For other qualifications for
sickness benefits see "Eligibility
Requirements".
You may be able to receive
unemployment benefits if you are able to work but unemployed.
Those benefits are described in a separate booklet, UB-10,
Unemployment Benefits for Railroad Employees.
| IMPORTANT:
If there is no application enclosed with this booklet
or you wish to obtain a copy of the booklet UB-10,
contact any
RRB office, your railroad employer, your labor
organization, a union official, or the RRB's Web
site. |
This booklet contains general
information and does not have the effect of law, regulation,
or ruling. Certain exceptions, limitations, and special
cases are not covered. If you have any questions about sickness
or unemployment benefits, contact the nearest office of
the RRB. When writing to the RRB, be sure to include your
social security number.
Spanish translation booklets
concerning railroad sickness and unemployment benefits are
