Full story: The AFTRA Retirement Fund (hereafter the “Fund”) mailed the 2024 Earnings Statements to all registered performers with verified addresses who had covered earnings and contributions reported on their behalf for performance dates during calendar year 2024. For registered performers with verified addresses who had covered earnings and contributions reported on their behalf for calendar year 2023 – but not for 2024 – a letter indicating that no earnings were reported to the Fund with 2024 performance dates was mailed to their verified address on record.     

If you receive a 2024 Earnings Statement or a letter indicating that no covered earnings were reported and no contributions were received on your behalf, we encourage you to carefully review and verify the accuracy of this information as soon as possible. If you are already a registered portal user, you can sign in to your account and review earnings and contributions reported to the Fund on your behalf.

If you have not created your portal account—this would be the perfect time to create your account and manage your Fund business directly online. If you received your new Participant Retirement Identification number (PRID) in the mail you can now create a portal account to access your earnings information directly from the participant portal from anywhere and at any time. Using a trusted device and connection, you are able to securely review your recent years’ earnings, submit earnings discrepancies, generate real-time pension estimates, learn your pension status, respond to your annual confirmation notice, submit various forms and inquiries, and much more. If you have not received your new PRID, contact Participant Services by completing the online inquiry at https://myportal.aftraretirement.org/helpcenter . In your message, include the reason for your inquiry and the best telephone number and email to reach you. Once you receive your PRID, create your account, or sign in to the portal by going to https://myportal.aftraretirement.org.

Keep in mind that covered earnings affect your vesting status under the AFTRA Retirement Plan. While the Retirement Fund relies on employers to make required contributions and report timely and accurate information about your earnings, please remember that you are ultimately responsible for verifying the accuracy of any information that is reported – or not reported – on your behalf.

Important note: Do not use your Earnings Statement for pension calculations — Request a pension projection from the Fund. This statement is not a benefit statement (hereafter referred to as a “pension projection”). You can request a pension projection from the Fund at any time. A pension projection provides only an estimate of your accrued benefit payable at normal retirement age in the normal form of payment and will also advise whether you are vested or when your estimated accrued benefit will become vested. Your actual benefit will be calculated upon your submission of your application to start to receive your pension. To request a pension projection, visit aftraretirement.org and click on the “Pension Projection” button under Quick links on the right rail of every page.  If you have a portal account, you can request an on-demand online pension estimate at any time by signing in to your portal account, selecting the Pension tab, and clicking the online pension estimate request. Just remember that the benefits displayed are only an estimate. Your actual benefit will be calculated when you submit your application to start receiving your monthly pension payment.

For questions about submitting an earnings inquiry to report any potential discrepancies or missing earnings, see our Policies for Covered Earnings Inquiries brochure for helpful information.

Return the completed form along with the required documentation as instructed on the form. If you have questions about your vesting status or benefits under the Retirement Plan, or to speak with a representative, contact Participant Services by calling (800) 562-4690.
