Sec. 216.60  General.


    The Railroad Retirement Act provides annuities for the widow(er), 
surviving divorced spouse, or remarried widow(er) of an employee. The 
deceased employee must have completed 10 years of railroad service and 
have had a current connection with the railroad industry at the time of 
his or her death. A widow(er), surviving divorced spouse, or remarried 
widow(er) may receive an annuity based on age, on disability, or on 
having a child of the employee in his or her care.
