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
AS PART OF THEIR COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS THE OFFICERS OF NJEA RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING ALLOWANCES: ALL THREE OFFICERS RECEIVE A $1,000 CLOTHING ALLOWANCE. THE NJEA PRESIDENT RECEIVES $2,000 FOR COMPANION TRAVEL; THE NJEA VICE PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY-TREASURER EACH RECEIVE $1,000 FOR COMPANION TRAVEL.
SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN C:
THE AMOUNTS REPORTED ON SCHEDULE J, PART II, COLUMN C REPRESENT ACTUARIAL PROJECTIONS OF THE FUTURE LIFETIME VALUE OF PENSION BENEFITS, AND ARE RECALCULATED EVERY YEAR UNTIL RETIREMENT. THOSE NUMBERS CAN VARY DRAMATICALLY FROM YEAR TO YEAR BASED ON MANY FACTORS. THESE FACTORS INCLUDE: ADDITIONAL BENEFIT ACCRUALS EARNED DURING THE YEAR CHANGE IN ASSUMPTIONS (PRIMARILY DISCOUNT RATE) TIME-VALUE OF MONEY (I.E., DISCOUNTING ONE YEAR LESS TO COMMENCEMENT AS COMPARED TO LAST YEAR) CHANGE IN STATUS, IF APPLICABLE (E.G., FROM ACTIVE TO RETIREE) REGARDING THE SECOND BULLET ABOVE, THE APPLICABLE DISCOUNT RATE EACH YEAR IS DETERMINED BASED ON MARKET CONDITIONS AS OF AUGUST 31ST. FOR YEARS IN WHICH THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT DECREASE IN DISCOUNT RATE, THE CORRESPONDING LIABILITY UNDER THE PENSION PLAN WILL INCREASE. CONVERSELY, FOR YEARS IN WHICH THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN DISCOUNT RATE, THE CORRESPONDING LIABILITY MAY DECREASE, DESPITE THE FACT THAT PARTICIPANTS HAVE EARNED AN ADDITIONAL YEAR OF BENEFIT ACCRUAL. REGARDING THE IMPACT OF A CHANGE IN STATUS, SPECIFICALLY FOR A PARTICIPANT THAT RETIRES FROM ACTIVE EMPLOYMENT DURING THE YEAR AT AN AGE EARLIER THAN EXPECTED, THIS WILL RESULT IN AN INCREASE IN LIABILITY. THE REASON FOR THIS IS BECAUSE THE PARTICIPANT IS NOW RECEIVING THEIR PENSION BENEFIT FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME THAN PREVIOUSLY VALUED.

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.
