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
TRAVEL FOR THE SPOUSE OF THE CEO IS ALLOWED FOR TWO MEETINGS DURING THE YEAR. THE AMOUNT PAID FOR THE TRAVEL IS INCLUDED IN THE CEO'S W-2. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS BELIEVES IT IS GOOD PRACTICE FOR SPOUSES TO ATTEND MEETINGS TO GAIN KNOWLEDGE REGARDING THE COOPERATIVE. ALL OTHER SPOUSES MUST PAY THEIR OWN WAY. SOCIAL CLUB DUES ARE REIMBURSED FOR STAFF WHO ATTEND APPROVED ORGANIZATIONS. CLUBS SUCH AS ROTARY AND LIONS PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR COMMUNITIES WHICH IS ONE OF THE CORE VALUES OF A COOPERATIVE. RECEIPTS MUST BE TURNED IN FOR SOCIAL CLUB DUES AND EXPENSES.

THE CHANGE IN ACTUARIAL VALUE FOR EACH PARTICIPANT, HOWEVER, VARIES WITH YEARS OF SERVICE AND YEARS TO RETIREMENT. IN OTHER WORDS, THE CLOSER TO RETIREMENT A PLAN PARTICIPANT IS, THE GREATER THE INCREASE IN THAT INDIVIDUAL'S CHANGE IN ACTUARIAL VALUE, ALL OTHER THINGS BEING EQUAL.
