Property Settlements
Text Version:

Property Settlements

Employee tier II benefits and supplemental annuities are subject to property settlements in annulment, separation or divorce cases.

Notes:

  • The Railroad Retirement Board must honor court orders that treat non-tier I benefits as property subject to division in proceedings related to divorce, annulment or legal separation, and which order the RRB to make payments to the divorced spouse.
  • In separation or divorce cases, there is no limit on the amount subject to division of employee’s tier II benefits and supplemental annuities. Tier I benefits are not subject to division.
  • Payment of a partition amount as part of a property distribution can be made after the employee’s death unless a court order requires termination of payments upon the employee’s death.
