November Dues Relief Extension Available

Monday, Dec. 11 is the deadline for SAG-AFTRA members to pay their November 2023 dues. A dues relief extension plan is available for those experiencing financial hardship. This allows members to pay their November dues in two installments, remain in good standing and eligible for SAG Awards FYC screeners and voting.

Dues deferment remains an important part of the overall response supporting SAG-AFTRA members in this time of need, allowing members to be cleared for work while making payments toward dues owed.

November dues statements were sent to members in October. If you are experiencing financial hardship and are unable to pay what’s due on your account, you may request and will be granted a due date extension/installment plan on or before Monday, Dec. 11, 2023. You may pay your current November 2023 dues in two installments. Half of the dues bill will be required by Dec. 11, 2023, and the remaining half by March 1, 2024. Please note that installment payments must be received no later than Dec. 11 and March 11, respectively, to maintain good standing for the November 2023 dues period unless prior period payments are owed. No late fees will be assessed for the November 2023 dues period and there will be no adverse impact on members’ work eligibility during this time. Your request for a due date extension/installment plan must be received no later than Dec. 11, 2023, by logging into your member account at sagaftra.org/billing-portal or calling SAG-AFTRA at (855) SAG–AFTRA/(855) 724-2387.

APP: Pay through your SAG-AFTRA member app.
PHONE: Pay by credit card 24-7. Call (855) 736-0900 and have your SAG-AFTRA ID ready.

SAG Awards Deadline

If applicable, to maintain eligibility for SAG Awards voting and "For Your Consideration" materials, your payment — or your request for a dues relief extension and the first installment payment — and all prior dues owed must be received no later than Monday, December 11, 2023. FYC screeners will be all digital this year — and be accessible with audio descriptions and closed captions.  Members will NOT receive any DVDs by mail unless specifically requested at sagaftra.org/dvds by January 5, 2024.

Election Eligibility Reminder

In order to meet the November dues period good-standing eligibility requirement to be nominated for election as a national or local board officer, National Board member, local board member or convention delegate, members who opt to take advantage of the Dues Relief Extension by Dec. 11 must ensure that all November 2023 dues bill payments are made in compliance with the program.

If your November dues payment is not received by Dec. 11, 2023, and you have not made a request for a dues extension by Dec. 11 or if your dues payments are not in compliance with the installment deadlines, you will not be eligible to run for a national or local board officer, National Board, local board or convention delegate position. Failure to pay dues in accordance with the Dues Relief Extension may also affect your ability to vote, nominate and participate in referenda.
