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 · Compensation survey or study
  • 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee

Answered no

  • 4a · Severance or change-of-control payment
  • 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan
  • 4c · Equity-based compensation arrangement

The filer's explanations (Part III)

PART II, COLUMN C:
INCLUDED IN THIS AMOUNT IS THE INCREASE IN ACTUARIAL VALUE OF BENEFITS PAYABLE UNDER A DEFINED BENEFIT RETIREMENT PLAN. THE CONTRIBUTION RATE FOR PARTICIPANTS IN THE NRECA R&S DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLAN ARE THE SAME FOR ALL INDIVIDUALS IN THIS MULTI-EMPLOYER PLAN. THE CHANGE IN ACTUARIAL VALUE FOR EACH PARTICIPANT, HOWEVER, VARIES WITH AGE. IN OTHER WORDS, THE OLDER A PLAN PARTICIPANT IS, THE GREATER THE INCREASE IN THAT INDIVIDUAL'S CHANGE IN ACTUARIAL VALUE, ALL OTHER THINGS BEING EQUAL. BECAUSE THIS RELATES TO A MULTI-EMPLOYER PLAN, CASH CONTRIBUTION TO THE PLAN IN LIEU OF THE ACTUARIAL INCREASE ARE EXPENSED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. KOONEY DUNCAN: TOTAL REPORTED IN COLUMN C $ 55,035 LESS: ACTUARIAL INCREASE IN DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN (55,035) ADD: CASH CONTRIBUTION TO DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN 95,905 EXPENSE TO THE COOPERATIVE $ 95,905 JEFFREY RECTOR: TOTAL REPORTED IN COLUMN C $ 34,051 LESS: ACTUARIAL INCREASE IN DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN (34,051) ADD: CASH CONTRIBUTION TO DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN 35,068 EXPENSE TO THE COOPERATIVE $ 35,068 JOHNNY COURTWRIGHT: TOTAL REPORTED IN COLUMN C $ 31,923 LESS: ACTUARIAL INCREASE IN DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN (31,923) ADD: CASH CONTRIBUTION TO DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN 33,402 EXPENSE TO THE COOPERATIVE $ 33,402 KYLE BECK: TOTAL REPORTED IN COLUMN C $ 21,939 LESS: ACTUARIAL INCREASE IN DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN (21,939) ADD: CASH CONTRIBUTION TO DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN 35,068 EXPENSE TO THE COOPERATIVE $ 35,068 ISAAC BILLINGSLEY: TOTAL REPORTED IN COLUMN C $ 18,984 LESS: ACTUARIAL INCREASE IN DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN (18,984) ADD: CASH CONTRIBUTION TO DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN 34,405 EXPENSE TO THE COOPERATIVE $ 34,405
