Eligibility and Enrollment > How To Become Eligible For Benefits > Employer Contributions

Employer Contributions

The Fund is financed primarily by participating employers who are signatory to the Writers' Guild of America MBA and who make contributions to the Fund. As of May 2, 2003, participating employers are required to contribute 7.5% of the reportable gross compensation of writers who have covered employment. This percentage will be periodically adjusted based on bargaining agreements. (See "Earnings Qualifying for Employer Contribution and Eligibility".)

If your employer doesn't make the required contributions, you may still be able to receive credit toward eligibility. Contact the Administrative Office for information.

If Eligibility Is Granted In Error

Contributions an employer makes to the Fund may be made in error. Examples include:

  • Non-performance of covered writing services; or
  • Contributions paid in excess of the applicable ceilings.

In these cases, you, the employer, or both must reimburse the Fund for any benefits the Fund or the Fund's insurance carriers paid for the writer or covered dependents as a result of such error, plus audit costs and attorney fees the Fund spent to recover this amount.
