Railroad Retirement Board

The Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) is a federal agency that manages retirement, survivor, and disability benefits for U.S. railroad workers and their families. Similar to Social Security, the RRB provides financial support to eligible individuals who have worked in the railroad industry, ensuring they receive retirement income and assistance in case of disability or loss of a family member. It also handles the collection of payroll taxes and manages pension plans specifically for rail industry employees, helping to secure their financial stability in retirement.
