Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

The filer's explanations (Part III)

Part I, Line 1a
AARP board members, officers, and key employees are provided the benefit of first-class travel on flights exceeding 5 hours when business class accommodations are not available. Directors may also use first-class travel if prior approval is obtained from the Corporate Secretary's Office due to medical reasons or for especially late-night arrival, or if approved by the Board Chair. The AARP Chief Executive Officer and AARP Board Chair are provided the benefit of first-class or business class travel on flights exceeding 90 minutes due to the extensive travel requirements of the position. In 2024, one board member used first-class travel. All directors for AARP serve on a volunteer basis and are not compensated for their generous commitment to AARP. The officers, directors, and key employees are, however, reimbursed by AARP for travel and subsistence costs incurred in carrying out their duties. In addition, directors are reimbursed for travel and subsistence costs incurred for spouses/companions accompanying them to Association functions. The board members receive a gross-up payment to ensure there are no out-of-pocket expenses related to the income taxes for the spouse/companion travel. All spouse/companion travel reimbursements and tax gross-up payments are treated as taxable income to the directors. The Chief Executive Officers of AARP were given the following benefits in 2024: Jo Ann Jenkins: 1) group-term life and supplemental life insurance policy, premiums paid by AARP in 2024 were $14,655; 2) spousal travel of $23,308; and 3) parking and other one-time benefits of $6,858 All items were treated as taxable compensation to Ms. Jenkins in 2024. Dr. Myechia Minter-Jordan: 1) housing allowance paid by AARP in 2024 was $49,000; 2) group-term life premiums paid by AARP of $155 Both items were treated as taxable compensation to Dr. Myechia Minter-Jordan in 2024.
Part I, Lines 4a-b
In 2024, Doris Dickens Gilliam received a severance payment in the amount of $228,331.77. In 2024, Jo Ann Jenkins received a retention bonus of $750,000.00 covering years 2023 and 2024. Both Jo Ann Jenkins and D. Myechia Minter-Jordan particpate in a 457(f) supplemental executive retirement plan.
Part I, Line 5
Under AARP's enterprise-wide compensation plan numerous organizational factors are considered in employee compensation, one of which is gross revenue of AARP and its affiliates.

Part I's answers as filed. A line not listed was left unanswered; on lines 1a and 3 that means the box was not checked.
