calculating the “future income” component of petitioner’s RCP on
the basis of the three-year period 2002 through 2004, the second
offer specialist first determined petitioner’s average monthly
income to be $18,895, consisting of (1) $16,903 of average
monthly wage income calculated by using an average of peti-
tioner’s wage income for the years 2002 through 200433 and
(2) other monthly income totaling $1,992. The second offer
specialist then calculated petitioner’s “excess” monthly income
(i.e., $12,652) by subtracting allowed monthly necessary living
expenses (i.e., $6,243) from petitioner’s average monthly income
(i.e., $18,895). Finally, the second offer specialist multiplied
petitioner’s “excess” monthly income ($12,652) by 48 months to
determine the “future income” component of petitioner’s RCP
(i.e., $607,296).
The settlement officer reviewed the second offer special-
ist’s determination of petitioner’s RCP and agreed with, inter
32(...continued)
wage income for 1993 through 2004 is $6,952.03.
33The record does not disclose the basis for the second
offer specialist’s calculation of petitioner’s average monthly
wage income for 2002 through 2004 (i.e., $16,903). The monthly
average of the wage income that petitioner claims for 2002
through 2004 is $16,694.25. The Court is unable to reconcile the
difference between the monthly average of petitioner’s wage
income for 2002 through 2004 as calculated by the second offer
specialist and the monthly average of the wage income that
petitioner claims for 2002 through 2004. However, it is not
necessary to reconcile that difference in order to dispose of
respondent’s motion.
