GL-129a request
If the RRB receives from an employee a protest of the service and compensation
reported on Form BA-6, the RRB will send the employer a GL-129a request. The
request will appear in the Outstanding Items list which will be displayed when
you first logon. You can work the item at this point or select it later by
clicking the outstanding items from the left menu and click the SSN link for the
GL-129a. This brings up the GL-129a screen. The screen is pre-filled to show the
RRB's record of service and compensation and what the employee is claiming that
his or her record should be. Determine the correct service and compensation for
the employee.
Service and compensation is correct as
reported
If the RRB record is correct, click the 'Correct as Reported' button. This
brings up a screen where you enter an explanation as to why the employee's claim
is not being granted. The RRB uses this information to reply to the employee so
please provide a complete explanation in terms that the employee will
understand.
Adjustment is being granted
If the RRB record is being adjusted to agree with the employee's claim, click
the 'Adjustment Granted' button. This brings you to a BA-4 screen pre-filled
with identifying data and the adjustment claimed by the employee. Click the
update button.
Adjustment is being granted but not exactly
as employee claims
More than claimed. If you are
granting the employee's adjustment but are increasing the amounts over what the
employee claimed, click the 'Adjustment Granted' button. When the pre-filled
BA-4 appears, type over the pre-filled compensation amounts or click additional
service months. An explanation is not required if you are granting more service
or compensation than the employee claimed but if you feel that an explanation
would be helpful, follow the steps below.
Less than claimed. If you are
granting the employee an adjustment but in an amount less than the employee
claimed, click the 'Correct as Reported' button, and explain the adjustment you
are making on the next screen. After filing the explanation you will have to
file a BA-4 for the correct adjustment. Follow the instructions under BA-4 in
the previous section.
