Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit April 26, 1983, 1136, Docket 82-4201 (Mary Kirkland v. Railroad Retirement Board)

IRVING R. KAUFMAN, Circuit Judge:

This case presents the sad circumstances of a seventy-nine year old woman, who, following three decades of marriage, became eligible to collect a widow’s annuity. Soon she discovered that the benefits she had received were to be discontinued because the Railroad Retirement Board determined her marriage was void.
