WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 -- Railroad Retirement Board has issued a rule called: Determining Disability.

The rule was published in the Federal Register on Aug. 10 by Stephanie Hillyard, Secretary to the Board.

Summary: The Railroad Retirement Board amends its regulations to update the amount of monthly allowable earnings for a disability annuitant to reflect the formula in section 2(e)(4) of the Railroad Retirement Act. The existing regulation is no longer consistent with the statutory formula in the Railroad Retirement Act for the maximum monthly allowable earnings for a disability annuitant and is therefore facially unlawful.
