Sources:

· Uninsured male population age 60-64 computed by subtracting insured male population age 60-64 (shown earlier) from population age 60-64 (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 under age 65 by uninsured male population age 60-64; future ratios projected based on historical pattern and judgment.

· 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.
