    The Railroad Retirement Act provides annuities for the spouse, and 

divorced spouse, of an employee who is entitled to an employee annuity. 

A spouse may receive an annuity based on age, or on having a child of 

the employee in his or her care. A divorced spouse may only receive an 

annuity based on age. No spouse or divorced spouse annuity may be paid 

based upon disability.
