RRB: Pre-Retirement Seminars are online only in 2026
Due to ongoing budget constraints, the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) is unable to conduct pre-retirement seminars in-person this year. These critical seminars help promote a better understanding of the sometimes-complicated RRB benefit programs. In the absence of in-person meetings, the RRB has made a Pre-Retirement Seminar presentation available to view online. The program has been updated for 2026 and is available on the RRB website (link below). While in-person meetings are preferred, the RRB has received positive feedback regarding its online presentation. Once on the site, you will find a PDF booklet and video designed to help educate those nearing retirement about the benefits available to them, and what they can expect during the application process. Among other important topics, the 70-minute video explores retired employee and spouse benefits, spouse annuities, working after retirement, survivor benefits, and items affecting retirement and survivor benefits.
