Title: ●Eligibility for an Annuity 
Abstract:

In accordance with Executive Order 14267, the Railroad Retirement Board proposes to update the monthly and yearly earnings limits for non-railroad work that will break a current connection and index the amounts for inflation going forward. Increasing this threshold will reduce the anti-competitive effect on businesses that provide critical services in connection with rail transportation that are currently unable to hire experienced rail workers due to this limitation.
