The Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) has announced dates and locations for a limited number of in-person Pre-Retirement Seminars to be held in June 2026. Due to limited budget and staffing resources, the RRB is holding fewer in-person events than in previous years.
Please register as soon as possible if you are interested in attending. BLET officials, auxiliary members, and their spouses are welcome to attend, as well as rail employees and spouses within five years of retirement.
Register here: www.rrb.gov/prs.
While most of the program focuses on various aspects of railroad retirement benefits, each seminar closes with a brief presentation on railroad unemployment and sickness benefits to help prepare union officers for sharing reliable information with their members.
