RRB BRI/COLA & Earmark File
Description
BRI/COLA & Earmark File - RRB sends an "Earmark File" of all RRB annuitants each year prior to BRI/COLA. This file is passed through BACOM to earmark related MBR records. The BRI/COLA operation extracts certain MBR information earmarked for RRB involvement or for RRB jurisdiction for Medicare. This information is essential to computing the amount of railroad retirement annuities after a Social Security cost-of-living increase affecting railroad retirement beneficiaries covered by the retirement programs administered by the RRB.
