if you lose your "Current Connection" by leaving the railroad and
working with a nonrailroad employer then you will lose the Survivor
Annuity. Please don't confuse this with your regular Railroad
Retirement Annuity and Spousal Annuity. Those can never be taken away
once  vested


Tier 1  is basically social security but pays at a higher rate because
you dipshits paid in at a higher rate

Tier 2 is not only 'spouse's" it's basically your pension


Employee draws both tier I and tier II once retired  spouse draws a
percentage  of tier 1 and 2 just like a spouse would draw from social
security

you dipsticks are welcome
