DC-1 Submissions
Employers must submit Form DC-1, Employer's Quarterly Report of Contributions under the
Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA) and remit contributions (taxes) to the Bureau of
Fiscal Operations (BFO) of the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB). Instructions for filing Form
DC-1 are on the form.
Pay.gov
Employers are encouraged to make their RUIA contributions using the Pay.gov system.
RUIA Contribution Rates
Each employer has an individual RUIA contribution rate that is "experience rated". That means
that the employer's rate is based on the actual benefits paid to employees or former employees. An
employer's RUIA contribution rate is established annually by the RRB. Notices are released to
employers in October of each year to notify them of the contribution rate for the upcoming year.
For example, notices that were released in October 2014 notified the employers of their 2015
contribution rates. New employers or employers who do not know their contribution rate should
contact:

Reconcile Compensation and Taxes
The total creditable RUIA compensation reported on Form BA-3, Annual Report of Creditable
Compensation, in a calendar year should be consistent with the total taxable RUIA compensation
reported on Form DC-1 for the same year. Each employer should reconcile these amounts prior to
filing the forms. The RRB will contact an employer about any discrepancies but the employer may
be subject to penalties and interest at that point.
Errors, Penalties and Interest
If you discover errors affecting Form DC-1 after the form has been submitted to the RRB, make
the applicable adjustment on the next DC-1 you file with the RRB. If the error also affects the tax
liability for the previous calendar year, make the adjustment in your next tax deposit payment.
Questions about the form and the payment of contributions should be directed to:
