1 For each year, benefit amounts awarded before the annual benefit increase are converted to post-increase rates before computation of the average monthly benefit.

Sources:

· Ratios computed by dividing average benefit for minor, disabled, or student children by average benefit for disabled worker.

· Historical average monthly benefit amounts awarded from 1-A Table Awards Supplement; future amounts based on results of simulated sample of future awards.

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