The amendment also adds divorced spouses to the list of auxiliary beneficiaries to whom the Board will pay benefits in accordance with controlling law.

Add `mcp.downstream.sh` as an MCP server — no key, no account — then paste this: ``` Using the Downstream MCP server at mcp.downstream.sh, call whats_new_since with agency "Railroad Retirement Board" since 2026-08-10, then summarise what changed and list every deadline it created. ``` Reaches `whats_new_since`. The response carries its own citations and states what it is missing, including which dates it has no record for. --- Every document linked here is a work of the United States government and in the public domain. The Federal Register's HTML and XML renderings are unofficial; the PDF on each item is the official text, and that is the one to cite. Counts are arithmetic over published fields, dates are printed as filed, and titles are verbatim. Where we have nothing, this says nothing rather than estimating. The one-sentence agency summaries are machine-written from those same fields and are labelled where they appear.
