Members must notify RRB when claims cases are pending
CLEVELAND, October 16 — In the June/July issue of the BLET News, we discussed the importance of members checking their Railroad Retirement BA-6 form for accuracy. This is an addendum to that notice, advising our members of another requirement you may be faced with.
As you know, you have only four (4) years to make corrections to your BA-6. But members are often faced with outstanding time claims – sometimes for substantial amounts of money – that may not be paid for several years after the claims were filed.
In order to make sure settled claims are credited for the year that they were filed, it would be prudent to notify the Railroad Retirement Board, in writing, of corrections or adjustments that may be necessary in each year for which claims are settled. This is especially important for those members who retire soon after filing claims.
Without such adjustment, claims settled after their retirement may never be input into Railroad Retirement records as creditable compensation which would adversely affect an annuity.
The original BA-6 advisory is available here on the BLET website.
