    This part tells when a person's entitlement to a monthly railroad 
retirement annuity begins and ends. Ordinarily, an annuity begins on the 
earliest date permitted under the Railroad Retirement Act (Act). This 
part also tells when and how a person may select a later beginning date. 
Included is an explanation of how work and certain types of special 
payments affect the beginning date of an employee or spouse annuity.
