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, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — 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
- AS PRESCRIBED IN THE BOARD GOVERNANCE POLICY, TO PROVIDE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF MEMBER ELECTED BOARD MEMBERS, AND BUILD THEIR KNOWLEDGE TO SERVE EFFECTIVELY, EACH DIRECTOR IS EXPECTED TO SEEK OUT EDUCATIONAL AND DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR THIS PURPOSE. DIRECTORS ARE ENCOURAGED TO PARTICIPATE IN AT LEAST ONE EDUCATIONAL CONFERENCE EVERY TWO YEARS. CONSISTENT WITH THE GUIDANCE OF THE NATIONAL CREDIT UNION ADMINISTRATION AND TO ENCOURAGE DIRECTORS TO TAKE PERSONAL TIME TO ATTEND EDUCATIONAL AND DEVELOPMENTAL MEETINGS, DIRECTORS AS A COURTESY MAY BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REASONABLE COSTS OF THEIR TRAVEL AND ATTENDANCE INCLUDING A GUEST, WHO MAY ACCOMPANY THEM ON CREDIT UNION RELATED TRAVEL. WHILE THE NCUA HAS INDICATED IN LETTER 05-FCU-02 THAT THEY DO NOT CONSIDER GUEST TRAVEL TO BE COMPENSATION TO DIRECTORS, FOR TAX REPORTING PURPOSES THE CREDIT UNION DOES ISSUE FORM 1099-NEC RELATED TO GUEST TRAVEL. FOR 2023, THE CREDIT UNION DID NOT PAY FOR ANY COMPANION TRAVEL.
- PART I, LINE 4B
- THE BOARD ESTABLISHED A DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN FOR THE PRESIDENT. THE PLAN IS DESIGNED TO COMPENSATE FOR BENEFITS NOT ELIGIBLE UNDER THE 401(K) PLAN AS A RESULT OF LIMITATIONS IMPOSED BY THE IRS ON THE ALLOWABLE CONTRIBUTIONS, AS WELL AS TO PROVIDE A LONG-TERM INCENTIVE FOR SUSTAINED PERFORMANCE. TOTAL CONTRIBUTIONS IN 2023 WERE $327,934. THE PRESIDENT DID NOT VEST IN ANY OF THE PLAN CONTRIBUTIONS IN 2023 RESULTING IN NO TAXABLE INCOME. CUMULATIVE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PAYABLE TO THE PRESIDENT IS A GENERAL CREDITOR OBLIGATION OF THE CREDIT UNION. FUTURE DISBURSEMENTS (IF ANY) OF THE CUMULATIVE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PAYABLE ARE CONTINGENT ON THE CONDITIONS ESTABLISHED BY THE PLAN.
