Sec.  234.62  Effect of conviction of a felony on entitlement.



    A person who has been convicted of a felony or an act in the nature 

of a felony of intentionally causing the employee's death shall not be 

entitled to any benefits under the Railroad Retirement Act. If a charge 

of felony is pending against an applicant for a lump-sum payment, the 

Board will make no payment until the applicant submits proof that the 

charge has been withdrawn, that no further action will be taken on the 

charge, or that he or she has been cleared of the charge.
