PART 211_CREDITABLE RAILROAD COMPENSATION--Table of Contents

 

Sec.  211.15  Verification of compensation claimed.



    Compensation claimed by an employee, which is not credited in the 

records of the Board, must be verified to the satisfaction of the Board 

before it may be credited. An employee's claim to compensation not 

credited shall be processed as follows:

    (a) If the compensation claimed is in excess of the maximum 

creditable amounts defined in Sec.  211.13 of this part, the Director of 

the Bureau of Research and Employment Accounts shall inform the employee 

that the compensation claimed is not creditable.

    (b) If the compensation is claimed within four years from the date 

the compensation was required to be reported to the Board as prescribed 

in Sec.  209.6 of this chapter, the Director of Research and Employment 

Accounts shall contact the employer requesting a review of their 

records, and if the employee's claim is correct, the employer will 

submit an adjustment crediting the employee with the compensation 

claimed. If the employer states that the employee's claim is incorrect, 

the employee will be requested to submit check stubs to show railroad 

retirement taxes withheld from the compensation claimed. Upon receipt of 

the check stubs, the proof will be sent to the employer along with a 

request for the employer to submit an adjustment crediting the employee 

with the compensation claimed.
