Subject: FW: RRB final rule
Brothers,
Attached and below is reference to the final rule regarding payments from the RR Retirement System pursuant to Court Decree or Court-Approved Property Settlement. The law has been changed to continue Tier II benefits to former spouses even after the death of an employee effective August 17, 2007. If the employee passed away prior to that date, then this provision would not be applicable per my understanding of the change.
I would suggest that we get this information to all members who have the misfortune to have recently gone through or are going through a divorce with instructions that they provide the same to their legal representation in the matter.
