                      TITLE 20--EMPLOYEES' BENEFITS
 
                  CHAPTER II--RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
 
PART 229_SOCIAL SECURITY OVERALL MINIMUM GUARANTEE--Table of Contents
 
            Subpart F_Computation of the Overall Minimum Rate
 
Sec. 229.45  Employee benefit.


    The original employee 100 percent overall minimum amount, before 
adjustment for age, other family members, or other benefits, is the 
Overall Minimum PIA, as described in part 225 of this chapter. This is 
the PIA which would be used under the Social Security Act if the 
employee's railroad service had been covered under that Act instead of 
the Railroad Retirement Act. The Overall Minimum PIA may be recomputed 
for additional earnings and adjusted for cost-of-living increases. 
Delayed retirement credits are added to the Overall Minimum PIA as shown 
in part 225, subpart D of this chapter.
