FORM 990, SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 1AAs an organization serving a system of locally based independent Plans offering health insurance in all 50 States, DC and Puerto Rico, the Association's officers are expected to maintain an unusually demanding travel schedule. Accordingly, a committee of the Association's Board comprised of independent Plan executives has established CEO travel policies designed to assure the organization is able to meet his travel commitments, including travel to underserved regional destinations. These policies include the use of charter aircraft and first class travel on scheduled commercial flights under certain limited circumstances. The Association has designed a comprehensive financial and service relocation program to assist relocating employees and new hires with the relocation process. The Association may provide a tax gross up on all or part of a relocating employees taxable relocation expenses in order to assist the relocating employee or new hire for negative tax consequences due to relocation expenses. The expenses are reimbursed and included in taxable compensation, if applicable, in accordance with the Associations policy. To facilitate business meetings with visiting Plan officials and others and to foster social interaction serving the interests of the Association and to foster their good health, the Association reimburses a luncheon club membership for officers. The expenses are reimbursed and included in taxable compensation, if applicable, in accordance with the Associations policy.
FORM 990, SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 3The compensation of the CEO and the continued retention of his services are approved each year by a committee of the Associations Board comprised of independent Plan executives. That committee acts after deliberations based upon advice from a qualified independent compensation consulting firm. The consultants advice and those deliberations include a review of the results of the independent consultants research regarding compensation paid by other organizations for officers serving in capacities comparable to that of the Associations CEO. Each year this committees decisions are reported to the full Board during a regularly scheduled meeting. The Board deliberates on both matters. Extension of the period of the CEOs service requires action by the full Board. The compensation determinations of the committee stand approved unless the Board exercises its inherent prerogative to modify the committees compensation decisions. The same committee of independent Plan executives annually receives the CEOs recommendations regarding the compensation to be paid to the officers. As with the CEOs compensation, the deliberations of this committee and its decisions to approve or modify the CEOs recommendation are based upon the results of an independent consultants market research regarding comparable officer pay and the independent consultants advice.
FORM 990, SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 4As required by the instructions to Form 990, Schedule J, Part II, a hypothetical SERP accrual was calculated for each reportable person who was eligible to participate in that program. The accrual amounts were determined using the Association's best estimate of the accrual using the methodology specified in the instructions to Schedule J. Because vested accruals under the SERP are currently taxed based on a different methodology and the instructions to Schedule J specify that amounts reported in columns B(i) through B(iii) should not be reported again in column C or D, the amount of imputed SERP income reported in column B(iii) was subtracted in each case and the balance of the hypothetical accrual was included in column C for the applicable reportable persons as follows: Scott P Serota - 1,286,632 William A Breskin - 36,434 John Cerisano - 11,336 Terry Cooney - 82,493 KATHY RIPLEY DIDAWICK - 39,427 KRIS O HALTMEYER - 25,087 JUSTINE HANDELMAN - 27,723 KARI J HEDGES - 28,142 MITCHELL J HELFAND - 12,220 MIKE JOYCE - 35,288 JENNIFER VACHON - 52,164 JODY A VOSS - 2,221 STEVEN PUTZIGER - 50 The combined total of imputed SERP included in column C: $1,639,219.
FORM 990, SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 7The Association maintains an Association wide annual performance bonus program that assures a portion of employees annual compensation is contingent upon the attainment of pre-approved organizational performance goals, as weighted by the performance measurement process that evaluates each individual employees efforts. Officers, like all employees, are eligible to participate in this program. The performance goals and the budget for this bonus program are approved each year by the Associations Board based upon recommendations from a Board committee consisting of independent Plan executives. Moreover, the performance assessment judgments and the approval of actual payouts require approval by that committee. The CEO AND AN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR also participate in a Long Term Incentive Bonus program. As with the regular performance bonus program, payouts under the Long Term Incentive Program reflect the extent to which pre-established performance goals are reached. However, unlike the annual performance bonus program, the Long Term Incentive program operates on a multi-year cycle to assure that the CEO AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR haVE incentives that look beyond the immediate year. This program, the performance measurements and the assessment of the achievement of those goals and the resulting payout amounts are all approved by the same Board committee described above and reported to the full Board. The committees deliberations regarding the establishment of the program, the selection of the performance factors and assessment of performance all include consultation and recommendation from a qualified independent compensation consultant based upon a market study of comparable programs for comparable executives.
