United States Seventh Circuit
Weyerhaeuser Co. v. US R.R. Ret. Bd., 06-3455
Determination of the Railroad Retirement Board that four employees were entitled to retroactive Railroad Retirement Act service credit beyond the four years automatically allowed by statute is reversed where the Board on reconsideration did not consider the only possible exception to the statutory limit, employer fraud. The determination is affirmed in all other respects where the decision was supported by substantial evidence.
