                     Subpart E_Supplemental Annuity
 
Sec. 216.40  General.


    An employee with a current connection with the railroad industry at 
the time of retirement may qualify for a supplemental annuity in 
addition to the regular employee annuity. Supplemental annuities are 
paid from a separate account funded by employer taxes in addition to 
those assessed for regular annuities. The Board reduces a supplemental 
annuity if the employee receives a private pension based on 
contributions from a railroad employer.
