How should Employers request Information about amounts due under section 2(f) and 12(o)?
Whenever possible, employer requests for information about amounts due under sections 2(f) and 12(o) should be made by facsimile using special forms (Forms ID-3S and ID-3U) developed by the RRB. Under normal circumstances, you will receive a reply to your request on the first business day following the RRB’s receipt of your fax transmission. You may make fax requests Monday through Friday (except Federal holidays), 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, Central Time. The fax number is (312) 751-7185. Employers’ use of Forms ID-3S and ID-3U helps to ensure that all the information we need to respond to your request is provided. The forms along with detailed instructions for their completion may be obtained by contacting our Sickness and Unemployment Benefits Section. The telephone number is (312) 751-4825. The completed fax form reply from the RRB is your confirmation of the amount due under section 2(f), or the amount of the RRB’s lien under section 12(o). A confirmation letter will not be sent.
