Special Disclosure Restrictions

Special Disclosure Restrictions

 

Information obtained by the RRB in the administration of its major benefit programs is subject to special disclosure restrictions contained in the Railroad Retirement Act and the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act. These disclosure restrictions are in addition to those contained in the Privacy Act. They provide that unless the information is disclosed to another agency engaged in functions related to those administered by the RRB, it cannot be disclosed unless the RRB finds that disclosure would be clearly in the furtherance of interest of the subject or subject's estate.

Benefit information

Benefit information

 

When a person is found entitled to benefits, the RRB must compute the amount of the benefits and determine when they begin. Benefit information includes these two items of information. It also includes the periods for which benefits were due, when the benefits were paid, and the various amounts of benefits due and paid over a period of time -- the person's benefit payment history, in other words.

Unlike the other two types of information, benefit information is created by the RRB rather than obtained by it.
