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.
