This statement is to be completed when applying for sickness benefits under the Railroad
Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA) on behalf of an employee who is incapable of signing
documents and transacting business in connection with his or her benefit payments. The
Railroad Retirement Board’s (RRB) authority for obtaining this information is section 5(b)
of the RUIA. It is not necessary to file this statement for an employee who can sign
papers by mark and understand the transactions. In such a case, the application
should be filled out for the employee, signed by the employee by mark, and the mark witnessed
by two persons who should give their full addresses.
Although you are not required to provide information requested on this form, if you fail to do
so, the RRB cannot grant authorization to you to act on behalf of the employee.
We estimate this form takes an average of 6 minutes to complete (4 minutes for the applicant
and 2 minutes for the doctor), including the time for reviewing the instructions, obtaining 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: Associate
Chief Information Officer for Policy and Compliance, Railroad Retirement Board, 844 North
Rush Street, Chicago, Illinois 60611-1275.
