    In order for an individual to receive credit under the Railroad 

Retirement Act (Act) for railroad service prior to 1937, he or she must 

establish that he or she was actively working for an employer under the 

Act on August 29, 1935, or was in an employment relation to an emp]oyer 

on that date. Section 204.3 of this part defines employment relation for 

purposes of establishing prior service. It is also necessary to 

establish an employment relation to an employer for any month in which 

an individual wishes to receive a deemed service month, as provided for 

in Sec.  210.3 of this chapter, and to receive credit for pay for time 

lost as provided for in Sec.  211.3 of this chapter. This part defines 

employment relation for these purposes. See Sec. Sec.  204.5 and 204.6. 

In addition, in order for an individual to have his or her service to a 

local lodge or division of a railway labor organization considered as 

creditable service under the Act, he or she must establish that he or 

she was working for a railroad or in an employment relation to a 

railroad on or after August 29, 1935, and that such employment or 

employment relation preceded his or her service to the local lodge or 

division. Section 204.7 defines employment relation for this purpose.
