Railroad Retirement Technical Improvement Act of 2006

BillNumber: S.3726

Congress: 109th

July 25, 2006 -

The Railroad Retirement Technical Improvement Act would have the Treasury Department remain the disbursing agent of railroad retirement benefits. Five years ago, the Railroad Retirement and Survivors’ Improvement Act called for a nongovernmental financial institution to replace the Treasury Department as the disbursing agent of retirement benefits. However, providing a nongovernmental entity with the personal information of thousands of retirees opens up the specter of identity theft, makes many of the debt collection tools available to the Treasury ineffective, and costs the federal government an additional $2 million each year.
