An important note about reaching the "ceiling" on a project
When you are paid for work on a project, the project’s producer has an obligation to contribute funds to the SAG-AFTRA Pension and Health Plans based on them.
However, there is a “cap” to that obligation, which is determined by the “ceiling” for each project which is indicated in the SAG-AFTRA agreements.
Once those ceilings have been met, the producer is no longer obligated to pay contributions to the Plans, and the earnings you received won’t be reported.
This is why you might notice your earnings with the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan do not always match your personal records or your SAG Union dues statement.
Please see the Covered Earnings page on our website for more information about common ceiling thresholds by production type.
You can always contact the production’s payor to inquire if you have met the ceiling on a project.
