Health Plans of SAG-AFTRA will Merge in 2017

The "Screen Actors Guild" (SAG) & The American Federation of Television and Radio Artists" (AFTRA) will merge union health plans beginning January 1, 2017. This also pertains to Native American union members if they have one plan or the other. 

SAG-AFTRA says, "The trustees of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) – Producers Health Plan and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) Health Fund have approved the merger of the two plans. The new SAG-AFTRA Health Plan will provide comprehensive medical, hospital, mental health, prescription drug, dental, vision and other benefits to eligible members worldwide. The merger of the plans will allow SAG-AFTRA members to combine covered earnings from all SAG-AFTRA contracts toward eligibility for coverage in a single health plan. The new plan will be similar to the SAG Plan with two tiers (Plan I and Plan II), both of which will provide family coverage at all qualifying levels."
