Can you collect social security if you have a railroad pension?
Can you collect social security if you have a railroad pension? If a RRB recipient is eligible for, and requests, Social Security benefits, the RRB reduces the Tier I annuity to account for the Social Security benefit and in most cases, there is no change in total monthly benefit payments.
Can you lose your railroad retirement?
It is important to note that once you establish a current connection at the time your railroad retirement annuity begins, you never lose it, no matter what work you may perform thereafter.
What is the Social Security 1st year rule?
That's why there is a special rule that applies to earnings for 1 year, usually the first year of retirement. Under this rule, you can get a full Social Security check for any whole month you're retired, regardless of your yearly earnings.
