The U.S. Railroad Retirement Board (or ‘RRB’) is an independent agency in the executive branch of the United States government created in 1935 to administer a social insurance program providing retirement benefits to the country’s railroad workers. The RRB serves U.S. railroad workers and their families and administers retirement survivor unemployment and sickness benefits. Consequently railroad workers do not participate in the United States Social Security program.
