Description

The Railroad Retirement Board is amending its regulations to update the monthly allowable earnings for disability annuitants to align with the formula in section 2(e)(4) of the Railroad Retirement Act. The current regulation is inconsistent with the statutory formula and is therefore unlawful. The amendment reflects the updated statutory limits on earnings for disability annuitants, including monthly and annual thresholds, and removes obsolete regulatory language. This final rule is effective September 9, 2026.
