2009 Earnings Statements were mailed to all registered performers during the second week of June 2010. Your Earnings Statement lists all AFTRA-covered earnings for 2009 that were reported to AFTRA H&R on your behalf by contributing employers, as well as employer contributions credited on your behalf.

New! Changes to your Earnings Statement for 2009
Your 2009 Earnings Statement includes two new columns - “Rate” and “Contribution Amount”. These columns were added because an amendment to the Retirement Plan changed the way pension benefits accrue on and after May 1, 2009. After this effective date, pension benefits are calculated using a formula based on employer contributions – not covered earnings – credited on your behalf. This change does not affect any pension benefits you accrued prior to May 1, 2009. Covered earnings continue to determine both your qualification for the AFTRA Health Plan and your vesting status under the Retirement Plan.

Verify the information on your Earnings Statement

Review your Earnings Statement carefully as soon as you receive it to confirm that it reflects all of the AFTRA-covered work you performed in 2009 and the related earnings. If you believe that it does not, or if you did not receive an Earnings Statement but think you had covered employment in 2009, notify AFTRA H&R by completing and returning an Earnings Discrepancy Form along with the required documentation. Please refer to the Policy for Required Documentation for Covered Earnings Inquiry for details and return your documentation and the form to:
