Regarding House Budget Report on
                         Conforming Tier I Benefits to Social
                         Security Benefits

An accompanying report (House Report 112-421) to the House of Representatives’ version of
the federal budget for fiscal year 2013 includes a list of reforms that could impact government
income security programs.

One of these measures calls for conforming railroad retirement tier I benefits to social security
benefits. According to the report, “Tier I benefits for railroad retirees are supposed to mimic
Social Security benefits, but they are more generous than Social Security in many ways. This
option would conform Tier I so that its benefits would equal those of Social Security, with an
estimated savings to taxpayers of $2 billion over 10 years.”

It should be noted that payroll taxes paid by railroad employers and their employees are
the primary source of funding for railroad retirement benefits, and railroad retirement
taxes have historically been higher than social security taxes. While railroad retirement
tier I payroll taxes are coordinated with social security taxes so that employers and
employees pay tier I taxes at the same rate as social security taxes, both railroad
employees and employers pay additional tier II taxes which are used to finance railroad
retirement benefit payments over and above social security levels.

Consistent with the higher taxes paid by railroad employers and employees, the average
railroad retirement benefit payable to a retired railroad employee is generally higher than
the average social security benefit.

The Railroad Retirement Board cannot comment specifically on what changes to tier I
benefits would be made under this resolution without seeing the legislative language that
would be used to amend the Railroad Retirement Act. At this time, no such legislation
has been introduced.

One of these measures calls for conforming railroad retirement tier I benefits to social security benefits. According to the report, “Tier I benefits for railroad retirees are supposed to mimic Social Security benefits, but they are more generous than Social Security in many ways.
