Retirement Benefits: Discrepancies in Benefits Paid by the Railroad Retirement Board for SSA (Social Security Administration)

摘要

The report surveys 17 different types of data exchanges between the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) and the Social Security Administration (SSA) and focuses on the most problematic-the benefit payments made by RRB on behalf of SSA. This review is part of a continuing GAO effort to examine the RRB-SSA relationship. The RRB-SSA Payment Audit Alert Review, commonly known as the Computer Systems Audit (CSAUDIT), was established in 1975. It was intended to verify the accuracy of payments RRB made on behalf of SSA to individuals entitled to both railroad retirement and social security benefits.
