Rights to benefits under the Railroad Retirement Act also carry responsibilities for reporting work, earnings, and certain other events that may affect your right to receive disability benefits. The RRB informs you of events you are obligated to report, and, if you do not comply, benefit overpayments can occur that have to be repaid, sometimes with interest and penalties. In some cases, failure to report may constitute a criminal violation under Title 45, U.S.C., section 231(l) or other criminal or civil statutes of law.
