CHAPTER II: RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
SUBCHAPTER B: REGULATIONS UNDER THE RAILROAD RETIREMENT ACT
PART 217: APPLICATION FOR ANNUITY OR LUMP SUM
Subpart C: Filing An Application
217.19 - Representative of the claimant selected after application is filed.
(a) Before benefits awarded. If the Board selects a representative for an incompetent claimant (see part 266 of this chapter) after an application is filed but before the benefit is awarded, a new benefit application must be filed by the representative. However, benefits will be paid using the filing date of the original benefit application.
(b) After benefits awarded. If the Board selects a representative after a monthly annuity was awarded to another person, the representative must apply as a substitute payee on a form specifically designed for that purpose. A new annuity application is not required.
