Only Participants (performers and beneficiaries who have already received a payment from the Fund) may register for the Private Area Access. If you found your name on the unclaimed checks list, please complete the Performer Information Form and return it with a photo ID.
The AFM & SAG-AFTRA Fund is not a membership driven organization. Unlike many other rights collectives, you do not "join" the Fund in order to collect royalties. If you have performed on a covered sound recording or motion picture/television program in an applicable category, you are thereafter known as a Participant. There is no performer registry or registration process other than this. Royalty payments are title driven by sound recordings or motion picture/television programs as applicable. In other words, a claim is made for an eligible recording to a particular collective or set of collectives, research is performed to identify all performers on that recording(s), and a distribution occurs. When a distribution is made on a particular title, the title appears on our one of three Master Title Listings on our website. If you believe you were NOT credited with an eligible recording (see Covered Titles under "SR", "AV" and/or "SYM" tab), please send Feedback under our "Contact" page.
