The Railroad Retirement Act provides
for payment of a supplemental annuity to a qualified railroad
retirement annuitant. The collection obtains information from the
annuitant's employer to determine (a) the existence of railroad
employer pension plans and whether such plans, if they exist,
require a reduction to supplemental annuities paid to the
employer's former employees and (b) the amount of supplemental
annuities due railroad employees.
