However, as a result of the Plan's funding policy, from time to time the trust may be subject to income taxes. No federal or state income taxes have been recorded in 2024 for unrelated business taxable income. In addition, the Plan and the trust are required to operate in conformity with the IRC to maintain the tax-exempt status of the trust. The Plan Administrator believes that the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and, therefore, believes that the related trust is tax-exempt. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if it has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. false false false BRENDAN BRANON Chairman-NCCC 1/1 TO 10/31/24 0 503807 0 504533 0 84336 0 33165 0 71887 0 1197728 0 0 Jeffrey Rodgers Chairman-NCCC 11/1 TO 12/31/24 0 323783 0 271305 0 3564 0 49999 0 82342 0 730993 0 0 FORM 990, PART I, LINE 22 IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE FEDERAL FORM 990, THE FOLLOWING CLAIMS RELATED OBLIGATIONS HAVE NOT BEEN REPORTED IN THE FORM 990 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023. 2024 2023 HEALTH CLAIMS PAYABLE $1,775,201 $1,880,861 CLAIMS INCURRED BUT NOT REPORTED $2,903,378 $2,694,244 TOTAL OBLIGATIONS OTHER THAN POST-RETIREMENT BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS $4,678,579 $4,575,105 POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS $2,262,839,281 $2,398,862,756 TOTAL PLAN BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS $2,267,517,860 $2,403,437,861 FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION A, LINE 3 CLAIMS PROCESSING AND ADMINISTRATION DUTIES HAVE BEEN DELEGATED TO THIRD PARTY ADMINISTRATORS.
