2014 RRB Annuity Notice; Anyone?

Has anyone yet received from the Railroad Retirement Board the annual Notice reflecting their 2014 Annuity amount?

I haven't got mine.

The Tier I payment always reflects the announced rate of Social Security OASB benefits; that will be 1.5% according to the Board's site. However, that applying to Tier II is announced as 0.05%. Medicare Part B premium is unchanged at $104.90 - again according to the site.

Rather than simply relying on the web to properly allocate the monthly payment amongst Tier I, II and Medicare B. It would be nice to have the usual Notice in hand, but who knows, maybe they now expect all annuitants to 'log in'.

I was wondering the same thing! I didn't get one, either. But my RRB money was in my account this morning. A measly few bucks increase.
So now you know you weren't alone.

Gadfly

No one I spoke to the past week or so got there's, RRB website stated they were sending it out end of December. Money was deposited in my account this morning with the increase if you can call it one. LOL!

Got my RRTA annuity $$$ this morning; looks like there will be enough extra for the co-pay to fill the surely another perscription I will be on during the year.

Oh well, at least Treasury appears more efficient than does the Board. I would guess the RRB was completly 'dark' during the Shutdown, but come on guys and gals; it was only sixteen days and you have had enough time to catch up.

Here is the Board's announcement Mr. Coen (Chesapeake & Ohio ENgineer with a 1977 Seniority Date?) notes:

Mr Norman, You're absolutely correct COEN77 stands for Chesapeake & Ohio Engineer 1977. Didn't know I could use the "&" sign when signing up years ago for my login name.

I got the increase with no notice but what I'm concerned about is when the W2's will arrive.

Good point Freddy!!!

Will the 'W-2s', actually two separate RRB 1099-R for Tier I and II, make it by Jan 31? At this rate, I'd say figure Feb 16 (normal due date + the 16 day Shutdown).

Well I'm relieved that everybody else is in the same boat as me. I've been concerned ever since I didn't get one back in 2010.

Well volks, Notice RL-47 issued December 24, 2013 finally made the scene today.

Yep, mine showed up yesterday, thought it was the W2 but no such luck.

Well, Forms RRB-1099 (Tier I) and RRB-1099-R (Tier II) showed up today.

Guess RRB 'made up some time'.

W2 arrived this morning, you guys can be on the lookout for yours.

Sorry Gilbert, we were both posting at the same time, I can't get out of the habit of calling it a W2.
