Most of the individual Collective Bargaining Agreements specify how contributions are allocated between the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan and the SAG Producers Pension Plan or the AFTRA Retirement Fund. After the SAG and AFTRA Health Plans merged in 2017, the Board of Trustees agreed that if the Collective Bargaining Agreement did not address contribution allocations specifically, but stated that they were to be split between the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan and AFTRA Retirement Fund, then the contribution allocation would default to 49.5% to the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan and 50.5% to the AFTRA Retirement Fund.

Trustees may require the employer and employee to repay the Plans the amount of the benefits paid on behalf of an ineligible employee if an employer reports contributions for an employee who did not render bona fide covered services.
To protect data stored in the Contributions Manager, we have implemented the following technology:
We use a Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) server to send and receive e-check information to and from the bank, which means that the information is encrypted. The folders and files used to store the information that is transferred are hosted on our private network, are also encrypted, and can only be viewed by the Plans’ accounting staff.
Please send all remittances to the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan.
