The reason they give on how they process residuals is a joke!!! They need to be fired.

There must be foul play for something so easy to take so long.

Well my dues payment needs to be processed through my loan out corporation, and will be dispersed in the same timely fashion as my residuals.. guessing that wont fly

Small residuals take too long, and larger residuals take longer!! I just received a stack of small residuals that were cut three months ago!

We need to get to the bottom of this. Something fraudulent is going on

I still feel it is time to start a Stunt Guild starting with creating the MOCap guild and then in 5 years take over the stunts in Film, TV, and New Media.. My 2 cents worth.

I check my residual tracker constantly and noticed that any residual checks over $1000 have been "processing" for over 2 months and smaller checks get processed and mailed within a few weeks. There shouldn't be any difference and seems like a fraudulent practice and hurts SAG-AFTRA members!

"It appears that SAG/AFTRA is colluding with producers to retain larger residual checks for longer periods in order for producers to aquire more interest on the funds due to members". David White and Company have been colluding with the AMPTP since day one that David White has been Chief Negotiator for SAG then SAG-AFTRA with the ludicrous New Media Streaming Platforms that were Negotiated in the past few Negotiations paying $00.00 to pennies on the dollar for unlimited reuse. What used to be a lucrative way of making money in this precarious business. Sooner or later Members won't have to worry about Residuals as they are in the process of going extinct. Go figure ?

I have long questioned why my .60 residuals process immediately, and my big residuals sir in processing for 2 months! Sag are a bunch of crooks and sheisters all about lining their own pockets and screwing their members!

Timely dispatch of our hard earned residuals is essential to many hard working stunt performers.

Plus, Why did we negotiate to have our tax deductions on residuals to be classified as "Single and 0 Dependents" when you signed as married and 4 dependents when you signed up for the job? Some of us at times rely on those residuals to support our families during lean times. Again, producers win!!
