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 — 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

Participants vest in contributions made after January 1, 2025 at the earlier of having 5 years of service, death, disability, involuntary separation without reasonable cause, upon reaching age 65 or the occurrence of a change in control. Each participant ceases to be eligible for further contributions by Hartford Healthcare Corporation on the date of the participant's separation from service. Participants receive a one-time lump sum payment of the accumulated amount during the 30-day period following the participant's separation from service. 2024 SERP Payout was made on behalf of the following individual: Donna Handley $41,998* *For this individual, vesting occurred, causing taxable income. This portion of the vested amount was used to pay the associated tax liability. The remaining balance was deposited into the employee SERP account.
