Our contract with Fox Television provides that contributions be made for all Daily employees to the IATSE National Benefits Funds for each day you work. Currently, $25.50 per day goes into Health and Welfare Plan C and $16.20 per day goes into the Annuity Fund.  For each month’s work, those contributions are sent about the middle of the following month.  About a month after that you will receive an enrollment packet if you have accumulated at least $440 in credits in the H+W Fund.  You will have a month from then to select the coverage level you want and make any additional payment needed to meet the premium.  Coverage begins the following month.  That is to say, there will be three months from the end of the month in which you work and accumulate enough credits until coverage begins.

You must complete a census card so that the Fund knows who you are and is able to contact you when you are eligible to enroll for benefits. Information about the Funds can be found on the Internet at www.iatsenbf.org.
