Railroad retirement benegits are subject to Federal Income tax. Tier 1 of Railroad retirement has the same treatment regarding income taxes as does Social Security benefits. Tier 2 of Railroad Retirement benefits are subject to Federal income tax just like other company pensions. Railroad Retirement Unemployment benefits receive the same tax requirements as do State unemployment benefits.

The railroad retirement program can be beneficial for eligible railroad workers and their families.

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. .
