RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
Agency Forms Submitted for OMB
Review, Request for Comments In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35, the Railroad Retirement Board RRB is forwarding an Information Collection Request ICR to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs OIRA, Office of Management and Budget OMB. Our ICR describes the information we seek to collect from the public. Review and approval by OIRA ensures that we impose appropriate paperwork burdens.
The RRB invites comments on the proposed collections of information to determine 1 the practical utility of the collections; 2 the accuracy of the estimated burden of the collections; 3
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information that is the subject of collection; and 4 ways to minimize the burden of collections on respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
Comments to the RRB or OIRA must contain the OMB control number of the ICR. For proper consideration of your comments, it is best if the RRB and OIRA receive them within 30 days of the publication date.
1. Title and purpose of information collection: RUIA Claims Notification and Verification System; OMB 3220
0171.
Section 5b of the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act RUIA
45 U.S.C.355, requires that effective January 1, 1990, when a claim for benefits is filed with the Railroad Retirement Board RRB, the RRB shall provide notice of the claim to the claimants base year employers to provide them an opportunity to submit information relevant to the claim before making an initial determination. If the RRB determines to pay benefits to the claimant under the RUIA, the RRB shall notify the base-year employers.
The purpose of the RUIA Claims Notification and Verification System is to provide two notices, pre-payment Form ID4K, Prepayment Notice of Employees Applications and Claims for Benefits Under the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act, and postpayment Form ID4E, Notice of RUIA
Claim Determination. Prepayment Form ID4K provides notice to a claimants base-year employers, of each unemployment application and unemployment and sickness claim filed for benefits under the RUIA and provides the employer an opportunity to convey information relevant to the proper adjudication of the claim.
The railroad employer can elect to receive Form ID4K by one of three options: A computer-generated paper notice, by Electronic Data Interchange EDI, or online via the RRBs Employer Reporting System ERS. The railroad employer can respond to the ID4K
notice by telephone, manually by mailing a completed ID4K back to the RRB, or electronically via EDI or ERS.
Once the RRB determines to pay a claim post-payment Form Letter ID4E, Notice of RUIA Claim Determination, is used to notify the base-year employers.
