RRB RIN: 3220-AB85 Publication ID: Spring 2025 
Title: ●Computing Employee, Spouse, and Divorced Spouse Annuities 
Abstract:

In accordance with Executive Order 14219, we propose to amend our regulations at 20 CFR Part 226 to remove calculations for reductions to an employee annuity based on attaining age 60 with 30 years of railroad service that no longer apply. We also propose to remove regulations implementing the Government Pension Offset for social security equivalent benefits and the railroad retirement family maximum, which have both been repealed by statute, and update regulations governing reductions due to workers’ compensation or other public disability benefits to reflect statutory changes to full retirement age.
