Certification

Relinquishment of Rights by Disability Annuitants and Certification
8 I recognize that my spouse may not begin to receive an annuity while I hold rights to return to work for a
railroad employer. By signing this statement, I authorize the RRB to relinquish any rights I may have to
return to work for a railroad employer. Based on this authorization, my rights will be relinquished if my
spouse becomes entitled to a spouse’s annuity. I understand this authorization remains in effect unless
I revoke it in writing.
9 I know that if I make a false or fraudulent statement in order to receive benefits from the RRB, I am
committing a crime which is punishable under Federal law.
I certify that the information I gave the RRB on this certification is true to the best of my knowledge.
