Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The railroad retirement program is the only federally administered pension plan for a private industry. Funds to finance the program consist of taxes paid by railroad workers and employers, transfers from social security trust funds, and general revenue appropriations from the Federal Government. A review was performed of the Federal role in providing financial assistance to the program and the alternatives available for funding and administering the program. The railroad retirement program has been inadequately funded, and beneficiaries may receive no benefits or may receive less than their social security equivalent benefits as early as 1982. A primary reason for the overall inadequate funding is that funds from railroad employers and the Federal Government for other benefits have not been adequate to cover the benefits paid. In addition, commingling all of the funds in one account blurs the accountability of each funding source for providing what is needed. Establishing a separate account for social security equivalent benefits would help ensure that beneficiaries will at least receive the equivalent of social security benefits. Because the Railroad Retirement Board uses its own eligibility requirements, railroad workers' remarried widows and divorced spouses do not receive full social security equivalent benefits under the program. Also, the estimated annual cost for funding windfall benefits for the program has doubled from the original estimate in 1974.

Book excerpt: In response to a congressional request, GAO examined issues studied and recommendations made by the President's Private Sector Survey on Cost Control, better known as the Grace Commission, to determine whether: (1) the issues and recommendations made on program management and cost control had merit; (2) legislation would be necessary to implement the recommendations; (3) implementation efforts were completely underway; and (4) the savings estimates were realistic. GAO found that many of the issues studied and recommendations made by the Commission had overall merit and that, while many have already been implemented by legislative or administrative action, many more require additional legislative action to be fully implemented. However, GAO questioned the accuracy of many of the associated savings estimates, found flaws in the methodology used to develop some of the estimates, and found that the description of the methodology used in some estimates was insufficient to allow an assessment of its validity. In most of the instances where GAO questioned the methodology used, it believed that the savings were overstated. GAO supported management improvement issues more frequently than policy-oriented issues; however, policy-oriented issues constitute a large portion of the total estimated savings. GAO does not support restructuring federal subsidy programs and fixing federal health care costs to a percentage of the gross national product, and it disagreed with selected aspects of recommendations to reduce civilian and military retirement benefits. GAO support was most extensive in the areas aimed at strengthening federal management systems, federal automatic data processing operations, federal credit and cash management efforts, and civilian procurement and property management activities. GAO has made similar or related recommendations in nearly half of the areas in which it agreed with the Commission. Additional legislative action would be necessary to fully implement approximately half of the recommendations analyzed.
