My ex husband a retired railroad employee passed recently. I have been getting a portion of the pension since 62 when he retired
I got a letter from railroad retirement to call them. I'm I losing the amount I have been receiving

If I delay my Railroad retirement until age 70 does my spouses tier 1 benefit stop growing at my full retirement age (67) or does it keep growing until I retire at 70 ?

Hi. I'm sorry but my expertise is limited to Social Security benefits so I can't give you a definite answer. Unreduced Social Security spousal benefits are based on 50% of the worker's primary insurance amount (PIA), which is equal to the worker's full retirement age (FRA) rate. Social Security spousal benefits do not increase if the worker waits until age 70 to claim their benefits.

How can I get someone from CSX RR to answer the phone or emails for the last 8 months?
I need to start my Spouse retirement !

Hi,

I'm sorry, but my expertise is limited to Social Security benefits. I'm unable to offer you any advice with regard to applying for Railroad Retirement benefits.

Hi Larry

Can I draw my city Pension and my husband's railroad spouse pension at the same time?

Hi,

My husband gets railroad retirement benefits and I get retirement benefits from CalSTRS.
Currently I get only Tier II benefit from RRB.
Am I entitle to survivor benefits ?

Hi Larry,

I worked for a subsidiary of the Santa Fe Railroad for 6 years (79 to 85) in which I paid into railroad retirement. How can I determine if I am eligible for any railroad retirement?

Hi Mark,

I worked for the Illinois Central Railroad from 1976 to 1983 and have been in the private sector since then, paying into Social Secuirty. I am planning on starting Social Security benefits this October when I turn 70. Would I be able to claim any railroad retirement benefits?
Thank you

Hi,

My husband is drawing railroad retirement. I am 62 and will receive Teacher retirement at 65 or later. Can i review a spouse Railroad check now and not interfere with my TRS check when i decide to retire?

Hi,

My expertise is limited to Social Security benefits, so I'm unable to answer your question. You'll probably want to check with a representative of the Railroad Retirement Board (https://www.rrb.gov/ContactUs).
