Sec. 216.21  General.


    To be eligible for an employee, a spouse, or a divorced spouse 
annuity, the Railroad Retirement Act requires that an applicant must 
stop work for pay performed as an employee for a railroad employer. In 
addition, no employee, spouse or divorced spouse annuity may be paid for 
any month in which the employee, spouse or divorced spouse annuitant 
works for pay for any railroad employer after the date his or her 
annuity began. No annuity may be paid to a widow or widower, surviving 
divorced spouse, remarried widow or widower, child, or parent for any 
month such individual works for pay for a railroad employer.
