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.

Schedule J

Answered yes

3 · Form 990 of other organizations
4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
5a · Pay contingent on this organization's revenues

Answered no

4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement
5b · Pay contingent on a related organization's revenues
6a · Pay contingent on this organization's net earnings
6b · Pay contingent on a related organization's net earnings
7 · Other non-fixed payments
8 · Paid under the initial-contract exception

The filer's explanations (Part III)

Schedule J, Part I, Line 3: BOARD OVERSITE: The board uses Indeed Job Search Engine as a guide to determine all salaries based on the duties, hours and time accounting associated with each job opening within AAMOU organization and comparable to similar duties at other companies in the state of Illinois.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 4: PARTICIPATE IN A RETIREMENT PLAN: YES AAMOU DOES OFFER A RETIREMENT PLAN TO ALL EMPLOYEES IN ACCORDANCE WITH Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code") provides for limitations on benefits and contributions under qualified retirement plans. For a participant who separated from service before January 1, 2025, the participant's limitation under a defined benefit plan under section 415(b)(1)(B) is computed by multiplying the participant's compensation limitation, as adjusted through 2024, by 1.0262.
Schedule J, Part I, Line 5: Compensation of executive director is based on work performed, duties, time allotted, employees managed, day to day responsibilities and grants/contracts that are received within a programmatic year.

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.
