Railroad Retirement Board Disability Benefits
Disabled railroad workers can claim disability benefits from the Railroad Retirement Board. The appeals process is similar to, but not the same as, the procedure followed for social security disability claims, and the administrative body that administers and decides the claims is the Bureau of Hearings and Appeals of the Railroad Retirement Board. The laws governing the award of benefits to disabled railroad workers are similar to the laws used to award social security disability benefits. More information regarding these kind of disability benefits can be found at the government website www.rrb.gov.
We handle hearings before the assigned hearing officer who presides over these disability claims. There are time deadlines for appealing decisions regarding these disability benefits, so do not delay in contacting us about appealing a denial of Railroad Retirement Board disability benefits.
