                  CHAPTER II--RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD

 

PART 235_PAYMENT OF SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS BY THE RAILROAD RETIREMENT 

BOARD--Table of Contents

 

Sec.  235.4  How the Board pays social security benefits.



    (a) When an individual described in Sec.  235.3 of this part is 

determined by the Social Security Administration to be entitled to 

social security benefits, the Social Security Administration certifies 

such benefits to the Board for payment by the Board. Once social 

security entitlement is certified to the Board, the Board then certifies 

the amount of the social security benefit to the Department of the 

Treasury for payment and makes any necessary adjustments in the 

individual's railroad retirement benefit.

    (b) The Board has no authority with respect to the adjudication of 

the benefit to be paid under the Social Security Act. Entitlement to and 

the computation of such benefits is a matter solely within the 

jurisdiction of the Social Security Administration.
