                      TITLE 20--EMPLOYEES' BENEFITS

 

                  CHAPTER II--RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD

 

PART 204_EMPLOYMENT RELATION--Table of Contents

 

Sec.  204.5  Employment relation--deemed service.



    For the purpose of crediting deemed service months as provided in 

Sec.  210.3(b) of this chapter, an individual must have maintained an 

employment relation to one or more employers in the month or months to 

be deemed. For that purpose an employment relation exists with respect 

to any month in which an individual, although not in the active service 

of an employer, is on furlough subject to recall by an employer, is on a 

bona fide leave of absence, has not been retired or discharged but was 

by reason of continuous disability unable to return to service, or was 

not in active service because of a discharge later determined to be 

wrongful. However, an employment relation with respect to an employer 

ceases after an individual has resigned or relinquished his or her 

rights to return to the service of that employer or after the individual 

becomes entitled to receive an annuity under the Railroad Retirement 

Act.
