Per Local 695’s Constitution & Bylaws, when a member has defaulted on their financial obligations resulting in Expulsion or is reinstating from Honorable Withdrawal, repayment of arrears in full is required in order to return their membership to the status of ‘Good Standing’. Members must be in Good Standing in order to be eligible to accept work under Local 695’s jurisdiction.
In the instance repayment in full is not possible, and a member is seeking an Agreement Plan, it is Local 695’s discretion on when such requests may be approved.
If you are requesting an Agreement Plan and were not able to secure assistance from First Entertainment Credit Union, please complete the below request form. Documentation, including a screenshot of your Motion Picture Health and Pension Plan work history is required at time of submission in order for your request to be taken into consideration.
All submissions are reviewed by the Local 695 office, and a Business Representative will be in contact within (5) business days with confirmation of approval or denial for an Agreement Plan.
Should an offer for an Agreement Plan be extended, members will sign a formal agreement outlining the agreed upon terms and conditions. Defaulting on more than (2) installments of their Agreement Plan will immediately deem their agreement null and void. Once an Agreement Plan has qualified for defaultment, you may not reapply for another Agreement Plan for (3) years from date of original Agreement Plan request.
Agreement Plan Terms & Conditions:
– To be eligible to request consideration for an Agreement Plan, you must be seeking Reinstatement from Expulsion or Honorable Withdrawal, and have not defaulted on a prior Agreement Plan in the last (12) months from the date of submission request.
