                      TITLE 20--EMPLOYEES' BENEFITS
 
                  CHAPTER II--RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
 
PART 204_EMPLOYMENT RELATION--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 204.5  Employment relation--deemed service.

    For the purpose of crediting deemed service months as provided in 
Sec. 210.3(b) of this chapter, an individual must have maintained an 
employment relation to one or more employers in the month or months to 
be deemed. For that purpose an employment relation exists with respect 
to any month in which an individual, although not in the active service 
of an employer, is on furlough subject to recall by an employer, is on a 
bona fide leave of absence, has not been retired or discharged but was 
by reason of continuous disability unable to return to service, or was 
not in active service because of a discharge later determined to be 
wrongful. However, an employment relation with respect to an employer 
ceases after an individual has resigned or relinquished his or her 
rights to return to the service of that employer or after the individual 
becomes entitled to receive an annuity under the Railroad Retirement 
Act.
