Earnings Statement FAQs
Why didn’t I receive an Earnings Statement?
If you have not yet registered with AFTRA H&R, we cannot track your earnings or send you an Earnings Statement; visit our
registration Web page, download a
Performer Registration Form and complete and return the form to AFTRA H&R. If you have already registered but did not receive a statement, please call Participant Services at 1-800-562-4690 to verify that AFTRA H&R has your correct mailing address on file.

Earnings for work I performed in 2008 are missing from my statement. What should I do?
Always contact AFTRA H&R about any earnings from 2008 which you feel should be included but do not appear on your statement; send us a completed
Earnings Discrepancy Form, or for questions call Participant Services at 1-800-562-4690. One common reason earnings are excluded from statements is because earnings are reported late. Any 2008 earnings reported to AFTRA H&R after April 29, 2009 will not appear on your 2008 Earnings Statement, as this was the date data was finalized for the printing and mailing. But in any case, always report missing earnings to AFTRA H&R.

My statement lists covered work and earnings for which I never received payment. What should I do?
Contact your AFTRA union representative and explain the situation. The representative will contact the signatory employer (the company signed to the AFTRA collective bargaining agreement for which you performed work) to attempt to resolve this issue.

Where is my pension estimate, and how do I get one?
Please note that your Earnings Statement is not a benefit statement.
