                       Subpart F_Recomputing PIA's
 
Sec. 225.56  Automatic recomputation.

    Periodically, the Board reviews the earnings record of every 
retired, disabled and recently deceased employee to see if a 
recomputation of the PIA is necessary. When a recomputation is called 
for due to a change in the reported railroad or social security 
earnings, the Board processes it automatically. Increased benefits 
resulting from a recomputation are paid from the earliest month that the 
recomputation is effective. The annuitant does not have to request a 
recomputation to consider additional earnings, although the annuitant 
may request a recomputation before the automatic recomputation is 
processed. However, the effective date of the recomputation is the same, 
whether the recomputation is done automatically or at the request of the 
annuitant.
