AEA Quarterly Insurance Premiums
« on: Jun 01, 2007, 12:28 am »
Make sure to pay your quarterly insurance premium if you are eligible for health insurance through AEA.

AEA is asking that you remind your cast members as well.

"Since changes went into effect in our Health Plan requiring the payment of a $100 per quarter premium by Plan participants, a number of members have missed the deadline for paying the premium.  In many cases this was because the member was working out of town and didn't receive the bill.

 Equity is [providing] a flyer that should be posted on your call board as a reminder to your company of when the premium payments are due.  Please be on the lookout for this envelope that will come to you at the theatre address where you are currently working. You can also download Acrobat PDF flyers from these links:

We would also like you to make the following announcement at half-hour: "I've been asked to give you a reminder that the next Equity-League $100 Health Insurance premium is due on June 1st.  If you think you are eligible to start or continue coverage as of July 1st, but have not received a bill, please contact the Equity-League Health Trust Fund office."

 Although the next premium deadline is June 1, and you probably won't get the flyer until that date or after, there is a grace period of a couple of weeks.  If anyone in your company thinks he/she should have received a bill but hasn't, please make sure they contact the Fund office as soon as possible at 212-869-9380 or 800-344-5220.
 
 Thank you very much for your cooperation on this.  In the past two quarters, too many members have missed out on coverage because they did not pay the premium on time.

Sincerely,
John P. Connolly
Executive Director
Actors' Equity Association"
