Relinquishment Of Rights By Disability Annuity Applicant Only

Section 10

I authorize the RRB to relinquish any rights I may have to return to work for a railroad employer, which will affect the
payment of my own or my spouse’s annuity. Based on this authorization, my rights will be relinquished when I reach full
retirement age (FRA) or at age 60-FRA if I become entitled to a supplemental annuity or if my spouse becomes entitled
to a spouse’s annuity. I understand this authorization remains in effect unless my disability annuity terminates before FRA
or before a supplemental or spouse’s annuity becomes payable. My rights will also be relinquished if I am eligible for a
reduced age and service annuity and choose to receive this type of annuity if my disability is denied.

my annuity as explained in the booklets.
I agree to immediately notify the RRB:

• If my condition improves;
• If I am confined in a jail, prison, penal institution, or correctional facility due to a conviction for a criminal offense;

The law which allows us to ask for the information;
whether that law requires you to give us that information and what, if anything, might happen to you if you do not give it to us;
the reason why the information is requested; and
the persons, organizations, and agencies to which we may release the information without your permission.

The RRB’s authority for requesting this information is Section 7(b) of the Railroad Retirement Act (RRA) of 1974. Providing us
with this information is voluntary on your part. However, if you fail to provide us with the requested information we may be unable
to pay you any benefits. The RRB needs this information to determine whether or not you are eligible to receive such benefits
and, if so, the amount you are entitled to receive. If your annuity application is approved and we begin to pay you benefits,
information that we may request from you in the future will be used to determine whether you are entitled to continue to receive
such benefits.
Although the information we request is almost never used for any purpose other than the payment of benefits under the RRA,
the RRB does have the authority to release the following information to the indicated individuals, organizations, and/or agencies
without your approval:

Information may be released to the Social Security Administration, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Pension
Benefit Guarantee Corporation, Office of Personnel Management, Department of Veterans Affairs, or Federal, State, or local

were paid incorrectly.
