Call the toll-free Fraud and Abuse Hot Line if you have any reason to believe that someone is receiving railroad retirement or unemployment-sickness benefits to which he or she is not entitled; that persons responsible for the financial affairs of minors or incompetent beneficiaries are misappropriating benefits; or that a doctor, hospital, or other provider of health care services is performing unnecessary or inappropriate services or is billing Medicare for services not received. You may also use the Hot Line to report any suspected misconduct by a Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) employee. The Hot Line has been installed by the RRB’s Inspector General to receive any evidence of fraud or abuse of the RRB’s benefit programs.
