Title and Purpose of Information Collection

Repayment of Debt
    When the Railroad Retirement Board (RRB) determines that an 
overpayment of Railroad Retirement Act (RRA) benefits has occurred, it 
initiates prompt action to notify the annuitant of the overpayment and 
to recover the money owed the RRB. In addition to the customary form of 
repayment (check, money order, annuity withholding), repayment of a 
debt owed the RRB can also be made by means of a credit card. To effect 
payment by credit card the RRB utilizes Form G-421f, Repayment by 
Credit Card. One form will be
