                      TITLE 20--EMPLOYEES' BENEFITS

 

                  CHAPTER II--RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD

 

PART 302_QUALIFIED EMPLOYEE--Table of Contents

 

Sec.  302.7  Establishing base year service and compensation.



    (a) Employer reports. In determining whether an applicant for 

benefits is a qualified employee, the Board will rely initially upon 

reports of base year service and compensation provided by employers in 

accordance with part 209 of this chapter.

    (b) No employer report located. If the Board cannot locate the 

employer's report of base year service and compensation for an 

applicant, the applicant will be afforded an opportunity, by completing 

the form prescribed by the Board, to provide such other statement, 

information, evidence or documentation to establish his or her status as 

a qualified employee. An employee's claim for credit for service or 

compensation that is not shown in the Board's records of service and 

compensation shall be verified in accordance with Sec.  Sec.  210.7 and 

211.14 of this chapter.

    (c) Employer fails to report. When an employer has failed or refuses 

to file a report under part 209 of this chapter, an employee may 

establish his or her base year service and compensation by submitting:

    (1) Statements, under oath or otherwise, signed by an official or 

duly authorized employee of a Federal or State governmental agency, 

based upon reports to the agency by the employer; or

    (2) Statements, under oath or otherwise, signed by an officer or a 

duly authorized employee of the employer, or if not so signed, on forms 

prepared by the employer.
