1 1982 and earlier includes all minor and disabled children of deceased workers; 1983 and later includes minor children under age 16 and all disabled children of deceased workers.

Sources:

· Numbers of minor and disabled children of deceased workers shown earlier.

· Ratios of number in force to number of minor and disabled children computed by dividing corresponding numbers.

· Historical numbers in force from In Force Table; future end of December figures computed by applying single year of age award rates (awards per minor survivor child under age 16 and disabled survivor child awards) and termination rates; future end of June figures interpolated using last historical ratio of June figure to average of December figures (excess).

· Historical ratios of number withheld to number in force computed by dividing corresponding numbers; future end of December ratios projected to remain at last known rate by single year of age; future end of June ratios computed by dividing corresponding numbers.

· Historical numbers withheld computed by subtracting number in current-payment status from number in force; future end of December figures computed by applying applicable percentage to number in force; future June figures computed by subtracting number in current-payment status from number in force.

· Historical numbers in current-payment status from 1-A Table Current-Payment Supplement; future end of December figures computed by subtracting number withheld from number in force; future end of June figures interpolated using last historical ratio of June figure to average of December figures (excess).

Note: Future estimates based on 2001 Trustees Report intermediate set of assumptions.
