PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT AND PRIVACY ACT NOTICES

We are authorized to ask you for information needed in the administration of the Medicare program. Authority to collect
information is in Sections 7(b) and 7(d) of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA).
The information we obtain on your Medicare claim is used to identify you and to determine your eligibility. It is also used to
decide if the services and supplies you received are covered by Medicare and to make proper payment.
The information may also be given to other providers of services, carriers, intermediaries, medical review boards, and other
organizations as necessary to administer the Medicare program. For example, it may be necessary to disclose information
about the Medicare benefits you have used to a hospital or doctor.
With one exception, which is discussed below, there are no penalties under railroad retirement law for refusing to supply
information. However, failure to furnish the amount charged would prevent payment of the claim. Failure to furnish any other
information, such as name or claim number, would delay payment of the claim.
It is mandatory that you tell us if you are being treated for a work-related injury so we can determine whether worker's
compensation will pay for the treatment. Section 13(a) of the RRA provides criminal penalties for withholding this information.
We estimate this form takes an average of 10 minutes per response to complete, including the time for reviewing the
instructions, getting the needed data, and reviewing the completed form. Federal agencies may not conduct or sponsor, and
respondents are not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB number. If you wish, send
comments regarding the accuracy of our estimate or any other aspect of this form, including suggestions for reducing
completion time, to Chief of Information Resources Management, Railroad Retirement Board, 844 Rush St, Chicago, Illinois
60611-2092.
