        <text><![CDATA[ <p>Railroad Retirement Fairness Act - Amends the Railroad Retirement Act of 1974 to provide that an individual who, at the time the individual makes an inquiry to the Railroad Retirement Board, has a current connection with the railroad industry shall not be deemed to have lost that current connection if: (1) the Board misleads or fails to properly inform that individual about that requirement; and (2) that conduct by the Board, according to the principles of equity, should stop the Board from deeming the individual to have lost that current connection.</p> <p>Deems an individual who is employed with the Department of State in a position the Secretary of State certifies as railroad related to have &quot;a current connection with the railroad industry&quot; for retirement purposes.</p> <p>Applies this Act to annuities applied for on or after February 3, 1989.</p>]]></text>
