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

- 1a · Travel for companions
- 1b · Written policy on the line-1a expenses

- 3 · Approval by the board or compensation committee
Answered no

- 4b · Supplemental nonqualified retirement plan

The filer's explanations (Part III)
- PART I, LINE 1A
- PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE TRAVEL POLICIES, THE COOPERATIVE WILL REIMBURSE DIRECTORS FOR THE COST OF HIS/HER SPOUSE TO ACCOMPANY HIM/HER ON OFFICIAL BUSINESS OF THE COOPERATIVE.
- 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, YEARS OF SERVICE AND THE CURRENT INTEREST RATE ENVIRONMENT. 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 CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PLAN IN LIEU OF THE ACTUARIAL INCREASE ARE EXPENSED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPRESENT THE TRUE COST TO THE COOPERATIVE. DWAIN TIPTON: ACTUARIAL INCREASE IN DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN $ 62,082 EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION TO 401(K) PLAN 3,484 TOTAL REPORTED IN COLUMN C $ 65,566 LESS: ACTUARIAL INCREASE IN DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN (62,082) ADD: CASH CONTRIBUTION TO DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN 38,334 EXPENSE TO THE COOPERATIVE $ 41,818 MARY ELLEN MCMANUS: ACTUARIAL INCREASE IN DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN $ 26,586 EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTION TO 401(K) PLAN 2,405 TOTAL REPORTED IN COLUMN C $ 28,991 LESS: ACTUARIAL INCREASE IN DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN (28,991) ADD: CASH CONTRIBUTION TO DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN 25,486 EXPENSE TO THE COOPERATIVE $ 27,891
