Getting the Golden Ticket
Q. What happens when Tom receives an email about his hour bank coverage?
A: Tom's enrollment into the hour bank coverage happens automatically, setting him on the path to securing his future.
Tom, a seasoned grip and proud member of IATSE Local 891, checks his email one evening after wrapping up a long day on set. Among the usual updates, one message stands out—it’s from the Benefits of Film team, and the subject line reads: “Your Hour Bank Coverage Has Started.”
Even after years in the industry, Tom feels a quiet sense of pride. His steady work has earned him more than just experience—it’s earned him security.
The email explains that he’s been automatically enrolled in hour bank coverage. No action is required. No forms to complete. Just dependable benefits that begin the moment enough hours are in the bank. That simplicity brings peace of mind.
All the early mornings, the long takes, the dedication—it’s all contributed to a system that now supports his health and wellness, without him having to lift a finger.
For Tom, who’s spent his career looking out for others on set, it’s reassuring to know that someone’s looking out for him, too. And for anyone else receiving this email, take comfort: your coverage has already started—just like it did for Tom.
