REQUEST FOR EMPLOYMENT INFORMATION

Our files indicate that the individual named above has been employed by you. This individual claimed benefits under
the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act, a Federal law. Since these benefits are paid on a daily basis, we need
to know the exact days the individual worked for you. This request involves a routine check of our records and is not
an indication that the employee has filed improper benefit claims.
Please furnish the information requested on the next page about each day worked OR provide the information
requested by submitting a computer printout or other company records which clearly show the employee's daily
earnings. Regardless of how you provide the information, please complete and sign the Employer Certification at
the bottom of the next page and return both pages of this form in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. Our authority
for requesting this information is shown below.
TIME SENSITIVE: PLEASE RESPOND WITHIN 30 DAYS

Enclosure
AUTHORITY FOR REQUEST
The Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) is a United States Government agency and is responsible for the
administration of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act (45 U.S.C. 351 et. seq.). This Act provides for payment
of unemployment and sickness benefits to qualified employees in the railroad industry.
Our authority for requesting information is contained in provisions of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act (45
U.S.C. 355(b), 359(a) and 362(a)). Although the Act gives the RRB the authority to compel disclosure through use
of a subpoena, the RRB's experience has been that employers voluntarily release earnings information when they
know that the RRB uses that information only for the purpose of verifying a claim for benefits.
The RRB realizes that many companies have adopted policies regarding disclosure of personal information needed
for proper administration of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act. Information that the RRB acquires about a
person is protected from disclosure except as provided by law.
PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT
We estimate this form takes an average of 15 minutes to complete, including the time for reviewing the instructions,
getting 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 the Associate Chief Information Officer for Policy and Compliance,
Railroad Retirement Board, 844 N. Rush St., Chicago, IL 60611-1275.
