To receive unemployment benefits you must apply for them and furnish information. Information that the  RRB asks you to furnish is used to determine if you are eligible for benefits and the amount of benefits payable to you. Although furnishing information, including your social security number, is voluntary, the RRB cannot pay you benefits without this information. The RRB’s authority for requesting information is section 5(b) of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act.
