Recovery Act 2009 Affects RRB Customers The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, recently signed into law by President Obama, contains a number of provisions that affect railroad retirement annuitants and railroad workers. This Act provides for a one-time $250 payment to most individuals who receive railroad retirement benefits, and also provides up to 13 additional weeks of unemployment benefits for certain railroad workers who exhaust their rights to the benefits normally provided under the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act. 2/20/2009
