Best Answer

The railroad retirement program can be beneficial for eligible railroad workers and their families. It provides retirement, disability, and Survivor benefits that are generally more generous than those provided under Social Security. However, the program is specific to railroad workers and may not be advantageous for individuals who have not worked in the railroad industry.

If a railroad worker had worked under Social Security before becoming a Railroad worker can they also receive Social Security benefits?

They can but that person's Railroad Retirement is going to be reduced. Here is a link to the Railroad Retirement Board's website that explains all the details about Railroad Retirement and Social Security Benefits. The tier I portion of a railroad retirement annuity is based on both railroad retirement and nonrailroad social security credits acquired by an employee and reflects what social security would pay if railroad work were covered by social security. Tier I benefits are, therefore, reduced by the amount of any actual social security benefit paid on the basis of nonrailroad employment, in order to prevent a duplication of benefits based on the same earnings. .
