Sources:

· Uninsured male population age 65 or older computed by subtracting insured male population age 65 or older (shown earlier) from population age 65 or older (from the Office of the Chief Actuary).

· Historical ratio to uninsured male population computed by dividing sum of aged husband and uninsured widower beneficiaries in force age 65 or older by uninsured male population age 65 or older; future ratios projected by regression with ad hoc adjustments.

· Historical numbers of aged husband and uninsured widower beneficiaries in force from SSA administrative records; future figures computed by applying applicable percentage to uninsured male population.

· Historical ratio of aged husband beneficiaries to aged husband and uninsured widower beneficiaries, combined, computed by dividing corresponding numbers; future ratios projected based on historical pattern and judgment.

· Future numbers of aged husband beneficiaries computed by applying applicable percentage to aged husband and uninsured widower beneficiaries, combined.

· Future numbers of aged uninsured widower beneficiaries computed by subtracting number of aged husband beneficiaries from aged husband and uninsured widower beneficiaries, combined.

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