Sec. 216.67  ``Child in care.''

    (a) Railroad Retirement Act. Part 222 of this chapter sets forth 
what is required to establish that a child is in an individual's care 
for purposes of the Railroad Retirement Act. This definition is used to 
establish eligibility for the tier II component of a female spouse or 
widow(er) annuity under that Act. Under this definition a child must be 
under age 18 or under a disability before any benefit is payable based 
upon having the child in care.
    (b) Social Security Act. In order to establish eligibility for the 
tier I components of a spouse or widow(er) annuity, and eligibility for 
a surviving divorced spouse annuity based upon having a child of the 
employee in care, the definition of ``child in care'' found in the 
Social Security Act is used. Under this definition, a child must be 
under age 16 or under a disability.
