                     Subpart E_Supplemental Annuity

 

Sec.  216.40  General.





    An employee with a current connection with the railroad industry at 

the time of retirement may qualify for a supplemental annuity in 

addition to the regular employee annuity. Supplemental annuities are 

paid from a separate account funded by employer taxes in addition to 

those assessed for regular annuities. The Board reduces a supplemental 

annuity if the employee receives a private pension based on 

contributions from a railroad employer.
