Railroad Retirement Board Presentation

The next meeting of the CRSA will be on Tuesday, March 6th at Noon in the Galleria Room (Southwest corner) of the Great Hall in Chicago Union Station.

Our host for the meeting and luncheon will be Amtrak and we are pleased to again have Jerome Kever, Management Member of the Railroad Retirement Board and Joseph Waechter, Mr. Kever's Assistant as our special guests. They will provide an update of events related to railroad retirement and will gladly answer any questions you may have.

If you are considering retirement or would like to know more about your retirement benefits, Mr. Waechter has again offered to work up an estimate of benefits.

He asked that you supply him with your Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Spouses Date of Birth, Anticipated Retirement Date, your Beginning and Ending Date of Military Service, your 2006 earnings and estimated 2007 earnings. He will prepare an estimate of benefits and send it to you.

He has asked that you DO NOT email your social security number to him but, instead, give it to him over the phone.  The remaining information may be sent via email.

Mr. Waechter's email address is: joseph.waechter@rrb.gov

His phone number is: 312-751-4910
