How do I find out if I have Railroad Retirement fund somewhere?
Back in the late 70's I worked for a railroad for a few years. From what I understand, RR employee's don't pay social security tax, they pay into a railroad retirement fund. The railroad I worked for is now pretty much defunct, so I'm wondering if anybody knows who handles these funds or where I would start to look to see if I have money in there that I can add to my IRA or other retirement funds.

- Here's a link to the Railroad Retirement Board's website: http://www.rrb.gov/
- You need to contact the RR you worked for and they will pull up your social security number and see if you have any money in it... also, you will have to fax them permission to submit and send you the balance in the account if any,. good luck
