Question regarding Presumed Loss Tables


I am working on behalf of several potential claimants trying to understand
the figures in the presumed loss tables in relation to the procedures and
assumptions for death claims as described in the Explanation of Process for
Computing Presumed Economic Loss (Revised April 2, 2002).

I have followed the procedures and assumptions, but have not yet been able
to successfully replicate the numbers in the tables.

Could an illustrative worksheet or two be be provided to show the precise
steps and calculations in arriving at a few of the numbers in the
tables--for example, a 35 year old unmarried decedent with no dependents and
$25,000 in annual salary? The figure in the table for such an individual is
$429,040. Subtracting $250,000 for the non-economic loss results in $179,040
for economic loss. A worksheet showing the calculations ands rounding
conventions would be very useful in replicating the steps followed to arrive
at the $179,040.

Thank you,
