Railroad Retirement Fairness Act
The Railroad Retirement Fairness Act amends the Railroad Retirement Act of 1974 to remove a specific provision that allowed deductions from railroad retirement annuities. This change directly affects current and future railroad workers who receive retirement benefits through the Railroad Retirement system. By striking subdivision (6) of Section 2(f), the bill eliminates a particular type of deduction that previously reduced the amount of money some retirees received. The legislation does not alter the overall structure of railroad retirement benefits but specifically targets one existing deduction mechanism.
