Excerpt: "The 401(k) plan is carrying increasing amounts of the retirement savings weight, according to recent reports. The question remains to be answered, are these retirement plans capable on their own of providing the retirement security participants count on?" (Martha Priddy Patterson, published by Thompson Publishing Group)

I'll have 30 years of rail work at age 55. Can I leave rail work and get a job covered by Social Security without losing my Railroad Retirement benefits at age 60 (60/30)? What happens if I lose my "Current Connection" with Railroad Retirement before age 60? (BenefitsLink.com)
