what wre five benefits that the railroad brought to Lincoln County
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.
freedom!!??
It means that the person is not eligible for Railroad 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. .
I worked for the Fed Govt for 35 yrs before that I worked and paid 48 quarters into Social Security, my wife worked for the Railroad and was covered by Railroad Retirement, we are now retired. My Social Security was reduced under the Windfall Elimination Clause of the Social Security Act. I was entitled to a portion of my wife's Railroad Retirement Benefits. The Railroad Retirement Board recently informed me that they were reducing my benefits because I have a Federal pension. This is a double hit, since my Social Security benefits have already been reduced by 45%? I have appealed this ruling and hope to have it reversed. Can they reduce both benefits due to a Federal pension being drawn?
Tier 1 Railroad Retirement benefits are treated the same as Social Security benefits for California income tax purposes. If any portion of your benefits were included in your federal income, you can claim an adjustment on line 20 of Schedule CA (for Form 540 filers) or on line 14c of Form 540A.
Railroad Retirement benefits are exempt from Indiana state income tax. They may be federally taxable, depending on your filing status and income. They follow the same rules as Social Security benefits.

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.
