Many Railroaders face unfortunate circumstances that require them to seek benefits from the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB). When a railroad worker is off work for an injury or an illness, they often times have the benefit of receiving sick benefits from the RRB. We at Pearlman and Pianin PLLC are required to handle your questions regarding the process of obtaining those benefits.
There are times when railroad workers need to file for a disability annuity from the RRB because they cannot return their usual occupations. This often occurs when the worker is injured. Many times this procedure occurs as a result of an accident causing an end-of-the-line injury. Attorneys at Pearlman and Pianin PLLC can answer your questions about disability annuities as well as the process needed to be followed to obtain such an annuity. We also deal with appeals to the RRB when applications have been denied.
Call 1-800-272-5400 with any questions regarding the RRB or the process that has to be followed in applying to the RRB.
