                 Subpart A_General Evidence Requirements
 
Sec.  219.1  Introduction.


    As described in parts 216 (Eligibility for an Annuity), 234 (Lump-
Sum Payments), and 222 (Family Relationships), certain requirements must 
be met before benefits may be paid under the Railroad Retirement Act. 
This part contains the basic rules for evidence that is required to 
support a claimant's claim for monthly or lump-sum benefit payments 
under the Railroad Retirement Act. Part 219 describes when evidence is 
required and what types of documents can be used as evidence. Part 222 
defines and explains family relationships for which evidence 
requirements are stated in part 219. Special evidence requirements for 
disability annuities are found in part 220 of this chapter.
