Sec. 234.62  Effect of conviction of a felony on entitlement.

    A person who has been convicted of a felony or an act in the nature 
of a felony of intentionally causing the employee's death shall not be 
entitled to any benefits under the Railroad Retirement Act. If a charge 
of felony is pending against an applicant for a lump-sum payment, the 
Board will make no payment until the applicant submits proof that the 
charge has been withdrawn, that no further action will be taken on the 
charge, or that he or she has been cleared of the charge.
