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)
- Schedule J, Part I, Line 3 Arrangement used to establish the top management official's compensation
- ACS CAN'S TOP MANAGEMENT OFFICIAL IS EMPLOYED by A RELATED PARTY, ACS. ACCORDINGLY, THEIR COMPENSATION IS DETERMINED BY THE FOLLOWING METHODS: COMPENSATION COMMITTEE; INDEPENDENT COMPENSATION CONSULTANT; COMPENSATION STUDY OR SURVEY; AND APPROVAL BY THE BOARD OR COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE FOR ACS ARE DETAILED IN THE FORM 990 FOR ACS.
- Schedule J, Part I, Line 4a Severance or change-of-control payment
- Tammy Boyd: Other reportable compensation (Part II, Column B(III)) Includes a severance payment of $137,939.
- Schedule J, Part I, Line 4b Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
- ACS CAN AND ACS MAINTAIN A SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN ("SERP"), 457(B), AND 457(F) PLANS AS PART OF THE TOTAL COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS FOR CERTAIN EXECUTIVES. THE SERP IS DESIGNED TO RESTORE CERTAIN BENEFITS THAT ARE LOST AS A RESULT OF TAX RESTRICTIONS ON BENEFITS PAYABLE FROM THE TAX-QUALIFIED DEFINED BENEFIT RETIREMENT PLAN. THE ORGANIZATION RESTORES MATCHING CONTRIBUTION BENEFITS THAT ARE LOST AS A RESULT OF TAX RESTRICTIONS ON ACS CAN'S 401(K) PLAN IN THE 457(B) AND 457(F) PLANS. AS PART OF THE HUMAN CAPITAL COMMITTEE (THE "COMMITTEE") RESPONSIBILITIES, THE COMMITTEE CONSIDERS THE NEW AND TOTAL VALUES OF ALL SERP AND 457(F) BENEFITS AS PART OF THE TOTAL COMPENSATION FOR EACH PARTICIPATING EXECUTIVE. THE COMMITTEE PROCESS IS FULLY DESCRIBED IN SCHEDULE O AS RELATED TO PART VI, LINE 15. THE SERP PLAN WAS FROZEN IN 2016, AND AS A RESULT PAYMENTS ARE NOW MADE ONLY AFTER RETIREMENT RATHER THAN IN INCREMENTAL AMOUNTS DURING THE EXECUTIVE'S SERVICE.
- Schedule J, Part II, Column (C)
- SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN C INCLUDES DEFERRED COMPENSATION RELATED TO THE ANNUAL CHANGE IN ACTUARIAL VALUE OF A QUALIFIED DEFINED BENEFIT RETIREMENT PLAN. THE CHANGE IS CAUSED BY CHANGES IN ACTUARIAL ASSUMPTIONS, WHICH ARE REQUIRED TO BE USED TO VALUE THE BENEFITS. A SIGNIFICANT DECREASE IN INTEREST RATES AND AN INCREASE IN THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF PARTICIPANTS RESULTED IN A LARGE INCREASE IN ESTIMATED VALUE OF BENEFITS FROM THE PRIOR YEAR. PRIOR TO ACTUAL RETIREMENT, THE ACTUARIAL (ESTIMATED) VALUES CAN INCREASE OR DECREASE FROM YEAR TO YEAR DEPENDING ON WHETHER CERTAIN ASSUMPTIONS INCREASE OR DECREASE.
