Unemployment Insurance Act. We need it to ensure that railroad employers
are complying with the Act and to allow us to compute and collect the correct
amount of contributions. You are required to give us this information.

complete, including the time for reviewing the instructions, getting the
needed data, and reviewing the completed form. Federal agencies may not

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 the
Chief of Information Resources Management, Railroad Retirement Board,

Unemployment Insurance Act is required to pay a contribution equal to a
percentage of the compensation earned by any employee. All employers

established every November via a separate notice.

contributions for each calendar quarter in which compensation is earned by
one or more employees.

Penalties – For failure to file a report on or before the date on which it is

Retirement Board (RRB) that a reasonable cause exists for the delinquency.

day after the due date will be assessed a full month’s interest.
