Anyone who knowingly refuses to give required information, or knowingly makes a false or fraudulent statement or claim to get an award or payment, can be fined up to $10,000, imprisoned up to one year, or both. Court fines and penalties under this law are paid to the Railroad Retirement Account.

(a) Anyone who knowingly fails or refuses to file a required report or give required information to the Board — including information needed under section 231f(b)(2) — can be punished. So can anyone who knowingly makes, or causes to be made, a false or fraudulent statement or report when one is required under this law, and anyone who knowingly makes or helps make a false or fraudulent statement or claim in order to get an award or payment made. The punishment is a fine of not more than $10,000, imprisonment of not more than one year, or both. (b) Any fines or penalties a court imposes under this law are paid to that court. The judge then orders them sent on, from time to time, to the U.S. Treasury, where they are credited to the Railroad Retirement Account.
