Minimum Earnings Threshold for Coverage in the Health Plan’s Choice and Premier Choice Plans Adjusted for Earning Periods Beginning on or after January 1, 2022

Effective with earning periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, the minimum earnings required to qualify for Health Plan benefits will increase to $37,000 for the DGA Choice Plan and $120,000 for the DGA Premier Choice Plan. The adjustment aligns the Health Plan’s minimum earnings threshold for coverage with wage increases negotiated by the DGA in its Collective Bargaining Agreements.

Under the new threshold, to qualify for benefits under the Choice Plan, you must earn a minimum of $37,000 during any 12-month period beginning January 1, April 1, July 1 or October 1 in 2022. Only allowable earnings covered under each Bargaining Agreement accrue toward the earnings threshold. The chart below reflects the related earning and benefit periods.
