SAG-AFTRA has released the official rules for distributing payments from the SAG-AFTRA-Producers Success Bonus Distribution Fund. The guidelines are now available to members.

The fund is managed by both employers and the union, following a process recommended by the TV/Theatrical Standing Committee. According to SAG-AFTRA, this approach is intended to ensure that payments are distributed fairly among eligible recipients.

The fund covers high-budget streaming productions that premiered on or after January 1, 2024, as long as they meet specific criteria set by the trustees.
