        (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 of this chapter for an explanation of the residual lump-sum benefit.
