# §216.43. Effect of a supplemental annuity on other benefits.

- (a) **Employee annuity.** A supplemental annuity that begins after December 31, 1974, does not affect the payment of a regular employee annuity. A supplemental annuity beginning prior to 1975 causes a reduction in the employee annuity as provided by section 3(j) of the Railroad Retirement Act of 1937.
- (b) **Spouse or survivor annuity.** The payment of a supplemental annuity does not affect the amount of a spouse or survivor annuity.
- (c) **Residual lump-sum.** The amount of a supplemental annuity is not deducted from the gross residual lump-sum benefit. See [part 234](/cfr/20/part234.md) of this chapter for an explanation of the residual lump-sum benefit.
