                      TITLE 20--EMPLOYEES' BENEFITS

PART 225_PRIMARY INSURANCE AMOUNT DETERMINATIONS--Table of Contents
 
 Subpart C_PIA's Used in Computing Survivor Annuities and the Amount of 
                      the Residual Lump-Sum Payable
 
Sec. 225.26  Residual Lump-Sum PIA.

    The Residual Lump-Sum PIA (RLS PIA) is used to compute the regular 
retirement annuity amounts to be deducted from the gross residual lump-
sum amount in determining the amount of the residual lump-sum payable, 
as explained in Part 234 of this chapter. The RLS PIA is determined in 
accordance with section 215 of the Social Security Act using the 
employee's railroad compensation after 1950 (or after 1936, if a higher 
PIA would result) as if it were social security earnings. The RLS PIA is 
computed just like the retirement Tier I PIA described in Subpart B of 
this part, except that social security earnings are not used to compute 
the RLS PIA.
