Musquiz v. United States Railroad Retirement Board

Crockett v. U.S. Railroad Retirement Board

Salinas v Railroad Retirement Board (2021) was a United States Supreme Court case in which the court held that the United States Railroad Retirement Board choice to refuse to reopen the prior, adverse benefits determination of a former railroad worker was subject to judicial review. Facts and procedural history. Manfredo M. Salinas was an employee of the Union Pacific Railroad for a fifteen-year period and was injured twice while working. In 1992, due to his injuries, Salinas began the process of seeking disability benefits provided under the Railroad Retirement Act of 1974. His application was denied three times, the final denial occurring in 2006. Salinas was granted benefits after a fourth application in 2013. After the board granted Salinas benefits, he appealed for reconsideration of the "amount and start date" of the benefits. This reconsideration was denied. In response, Salinas appealed, arguing that the final denied application should be reopened, as the Railroad Retirement Board had not been given access to pertinent medical records in 2006. A Board hearing officer determined that the 2006 application could not be reopened as the Board's standard four-year window for reopening had closed. After this determination, Salinas asked the U.S. Court of Appeals to review the decision. The Fifth Circuit dismissed Salinas' petition, citing lack of jurisdiction. Federal Republic of Germany v Philipp was a United States Supreme Court case that dealt with the applicability of the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA) for heirs of victims of the Holocaust to sue Germany in the United States court systems for compensation for items that were taken by the Nazi Party during World War II. At issue in the case was whether claims fell within the FSIA's exception to sovereign immunity for “property taken in violation of international law,” given that the sovereign here was alleged to have engaged in a taking of its own nationals' property; and whether courts can invoke the doctrine of international comity under the FSIA to abstain from exercising jurisdiction based on prudential considerations. In an unanimous opinion by Chief Justice Roberts, the Court held that FSIA does not allow these survivors to sue Germany in U.S. court, as the sale was an act of expropriation of property rather than an act of genocide, though other means of recovery are still potentially available. The decision also concluded a related case, Republic of Hungary v Simon, which examined the application of the doctrines of international comity and forum non conveniens for expropriation exception cases brought under the FSIA. The Court decided the case per curiam on the ruling of Germany v Philipp on February 3, 2021. Background. During World War II, the Nazi Party imprisoned numerous people, including a large number of Jewish people, and stripped them of their possessions. In other cases, the Nazi rule forced these people to sell their possessions at significantly reduced prices. At the center of the current case is the Guelph Treasure with an estimated value of US$250 million in 2020. The items were purchased by a consortium of Jewish art dealers prior to the war, but they were then forced to sell the collection at a third of its value in 1935 to agents of Hermann Göring. After the war, the Guelph Treasure pieces were moved to the Kunstgewerbemuseum Berlin (Museum of Decorative Arts) which is overseen by the Federal Republic of Germany under the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation, where they have remained as part of the exhibits. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

This podcast episode follows up one posted on Aug. 20 about President Donald Trump’s memorandum directing Treasury to defer the withholding, deposit, and payment of workers’ 6.2% Social Security or Railroad Retirement tax for the last four months of 2020. Since then, Treasury and the IRS have issued much-anticipated guidance on just how the deferral applies and how the taxes are likely to have to be repaid. Ed Karl, the AICPA’s vice president–Tax Policy & Advocacy, described the memorandum in the first podcast episode. Now he returns to describe what the guidance in Notice 2020-65 provides — and what it still leaves unclear. He has also written a post on the AICPA Insights blog titled “Employee Payroll Tax Deferral — Is It Workable?” that outlines what CPA advisers can tell their business clients with employees about the deferral. What you’ll learn from this episode: -The notice puts the responsibility for deferring — and repaying — the taxes squarely on employers. -Although the notice doesn’t say so directly, it is clear that employers do not have to participate in the deferral. -The deferred taxes must be ratably repaid in the first four months of 2021 from wages and compensation of an employee whose payroll taxes were deferred. But what about an employee who leaves the job before that happens or a business that goes under? Employers “may make arrangements to otherwise collect” the taxes from the employee. The notice doesn’t elaborate on how they might do that, so we hypothesize. -We assess efforts that are afoot in Congress on the one hand to forgive the deferred taxes entirely and to overturn the president’s memorandum on the other.

In this podcast, we touch base with Ed Karl, the AICPA’s vice president–Tax Policy & Advocacy, to discuss questions the AICPA Tax Executive Committee has raised in official comments to Treasury and the IRS concerning President Donald Trump’s Aug. 8 memorandum ordering Treasury to defer the withholding, deposit, and payment of payroll taxes imposed by Sec. 3101(a) — better known as the employee portion of Social Security tax, currently 6.2% of covered wages and compensation — and a comparable rate of tax under Sec. 3201 — that’s the Railroad Retirement tax — for Sept. 1, 2020, through the end of the year. We’ll explore the range of issues that Treasury and the IRS face as they implement this order and what it all could mean for employers and employees.

SilverScript has brought it to our attention that there has been an issue with Medicare Part D’s billing. For those you that do not know, SilverScript is a Medicare Part D drug plan which is through CVS Caremark. They have brought it to our attention that anyone that selected to have their premium drafted for their Medicare Part D drug plan from their Social Security check or Railroad Retirement check may not have had the premiums drafted properly. They found that the issue with the premiums started February 1st. We do not know any information as to how the problem started or who was affected by this issue. Most people may not have noticed due to the fact that the premiums are fairly low. This issue has not affected everyone however it has affected all carriers. SilverScript will be sending out information in the next two weeks explaining where the mistake was made with how your premiums were processed. Starting February 1st 2019, Medicare Part D premiums were not being taken out properly. They have since identified the problem and have fixed it; however, their systems are not allowing them to go back and take back premiums. Do not be alarmed if you receive a notification in the mail from your Medicare Part D provider in the next 2 to 4 weeks that’s going to share with you more details on what happened with their systems and how they have since corrected the issues. They are also going to include an invoice for the premiums and you will need to mail a check directly to your provider. Do NOT send it to Medicare or your agent or broker. You must be on the look out for this notification because if your Medicare Part D provider sends this invoice and receives no payment, they will consider your Medicare Part D plan in default and they will term or cancel your plan. This will not affect your Medicare Supplement premiums in any way. These two plans are totally separate and it will not affect your coverage or your premiums. Those are safe.
