A group of union members including the late labor organization's president filed suit in December 2020, alleging that a COVID-19-related restructuring was disproportionately affecting senior performers.
Under the agreement, which still needs to be approved by the court, senior members of the performers’ union who lost qualification for their prior healthcare coverage after the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan underwent restructuring in July of 2020 will receive “monetary relief worth $15 million,” with the caveat that that fee will also cover attorney costs, the Plan and the
plaintiffs announced on Monday. Under the terms of the settlement, the Plan has also agreed to infuse up to $700,000 per year over the course of eight years into the Health Reimbursement Accounts of senior union members who lost health coverage as a result of the 2020 changes. The amount those performers receive into their accounts will be based on the residuals they earn.
