Part IV, Line 2b:The client escrow account is an account used for purposes of making deposits of money from or for clients where the matter is pending but not resolved. A typical example might be a client who is in a dispute with the mortgage holder concerning amount due. Until the exact dollar amount is agreed to on settling the case, the money will remain in our client escrow and ultimately paid out in accordance with the terms of the settlement. LCE handles a number of consumer matters and in the context of some of those cases, the LCE staff or pro bono attorney may negotiate/advocate for a client to have a particular debt reduced, eliminated or to have a payment plan set up with the creditor.
Part V, Line 4:LCE's board designated quasi-endowment was established from funds received by LCE as a recipient of certain unclaimed monies from a settlement of a class action lawsuit against a Washington, DC cable company. The funds are invested in a broad-based portfolio covering multiple asset classes. LCE uses the income derived from these funds as needed to support consumer protection activities of the elderly. LCE's Board of Directors approves the appropriation for spending based on an annual budget. The value at December 31, 2013 is $3,598,282. LCE has a quasi-endowment to fund the expenses associated with employing a law student as a part-time law clerk to support LCE cases. The funds are invested in a broad-based portfolio covering multiple asset classes. Spending from this endowment will commence when the endowment corpus has grown to a level sufficient to generate adequate income to support the goals of the program, a level to be determined by LCE's Board of Directors. The value at December 31, 2013 is $329,925.
Part X, Line 2:LCE is required to record a liability for any material tax position taken which does not meet the minimum thresholds of "more likely than not" to be successful under regulatory challenge. No provision for income taxes has been recorded in 2013 and 2012 since management believes there is no material unrelated business income or material uncertain tax positions requiring the recognition of a liability.

The Form 990 is also reviewed by LCE's Controller, LCE's Director, the AARP Controller and AARP Office of General Counsel. After this process the return is sent to all members of the governing body for review. The governing body then has up to seven days to review and provide any comments or questions. After all issues have been addressed, the return is electronically filed with the Internal Revenue Service.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cAnnually, all board members and employees (including officers) are required to review the Code of Conduct, formally acknowledge their understanding of the Code, and disclose any real or potential conflicts of interest. Disclosures are reviewed by the appropriate management (or in the case of a board member, the Board Chair, and if necessary the Board of Directors) and the Ethics & Compliance Office. The appropriate resolution plan is implemented (for example, recusal from participating in any deliberations and decisions relevant to the disclosure). The Director of LCE and Ethics & Compliance Office monitors compliance with these requirements and ensures proper follow-up as needed.

AARP has a targeted competitive position in the marketplace that considers relevant for-profit and not-for-profit data since this is the landscape that AARP competes for talent. Establishing the appropriate compensation for positions and jobs considers external market pricing (where possible) from an independent, third party compensation consulting firm, internal criteria, and an individual's actual performance and contribution. Internal criteria is based on a standard approach that measures the internal value of positions, including: complexity and scope of responsibility, skill set and competencies, education and experience, and the reporting relationship of the position. An individual's actual performance and contribution is measured through the AARP performance management approach and then rewarded through the AARP annual base pay merit and incentive award programs. The compensation of the Executive Director of LCE is reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee of the LCE Board of Directors. No persons with a conflict of interest are involved in the compensation review and approval process.

All other documents that have not been included in a filing are not required to be disclosed to the public.
