Railroad Retirement Fairness Act of 2026
The Railroad Retirement Fairness Act of 2026 amends the existing Railroad Retirement Act to eliminate a specific deduction applied to certain annuity payments. This change directly affects railroad workers and their beneficiaries who receive retirement benefits under the current system. By removing subdivision (6) of Section 2(f), the bill alters the calculation method used to determine the amount of these monthly payments. Consequently, eligible recipients may receive higher annuity amounts than they would have under the previous rules.
