Sec.  216.21  General.





    To be eligible for an employee, a spouse, or a divorced spouse 

annuity, the Railroad Retirement Act requires that an applicant must 

stop work for pay performed as an employee for a railroad employer. In 

addition, no employee, spouse or divorced spouse annuity may be paid for 

any month in which the employee, spouse or divorced spouse annuitant 

works for pay for any railroad employer after the date his or her 

annuity began. No annuity may be paid to a widow or widower, surviving 

divorced spouse, remarried widow or widower, child, or parent for any 

month such individual works for pay for a railroad employer.
