SUBJECT: Y2K Reporting Compliance
The Railroad Retirement Board's (RRB) systems for employer reporting have been updated to conform with Year 2000 compliance standards. The changes to our automated systems require no changes to the following reports that employers currently send to the RRB:
- Form BA-3a, Annual Report of Creditable Compensation;
- Form BA-3d, Combined Annual Report of Creditable Compensation;
- Form BA-4, Report of Creditable Compensation Adjustments;
- Form BA-9, Report of Separation Allowance or Severance Pay;
- Form BA-10, Report of Sick Pay and Miscellaneous Payments;
- Form BA-11, Report of Gross Earnings, and
- Form BA-6a, Address Report.
Continue to submit the above reports, using the same record layouts and formats as explained in the Appendices of the "Reporting Instructions to Employers."
There is, however, a change to the Annual EStimate OPeration (AESOP) tape report, that the RRB sends to certain employers to provide them with annuity estimates for their employees.
In compliance with Y2K standards, the "Base Year" field on the magnetic tape format will be expanded to four positions so that 1999 will be displayed instead of "99". Employers who receive AESOP on magnetic media have been sent a letter detailing the changes.
