Chapter: Participation in the Plan

Participation In The Plan

Many different employers participate in the Plan. In general, only employers with a collective bargaining agreement with the Writers Guild of America participate in the Plan. Participating employers are referred to as Employers. As described below, in general, employees who perform writing services for these Employers will become participants in the Plan. In general, every employee will automatically become a Participant in this Plan the January 1 on or after when the first contribution to this Plan is required to be made on the employee’s behalf by an Employer.

Once an employee is a Participant, participation will continue until death, or a Break in Service, whichever occurs first, as more fully described later.

Special rules apply to employees of certain named employers (the Writers Guild of America, East and west, the Plan, the Writers’ Guild-Industry Health Fund, and the Inter-Guild Federal Credit Union). These rules are described in a supplement to this document available to those employees.
