Greetings:

A clear benefit of Full UBCP/ACTRA Membership is access to health and dental benefits through Actra Fraternal Benefit Society (AFBS) and Member Benefits Trust (MBT). We all agree about that – we need a safety net in this topsy-turvy world. But as Apprentice Members or UBCP Background Extra Members, you had to find other commercial insurance options. Until today. Today you have a brand new choice.

ACTRA National has worked hand in hand with AFBS to create a new Arts & Entertainment Plan™ offering basic health and dental benefits for you and your family. And there’s no medical required.

Administered by AFBS, the Arts & Entertainment Plan™ is a “no-frills” health, dental and prescription drug plan designed to help fill the gaps in provincial health care coverage.

AFBS has been around since 1975 and represents a community of 17,000-plus self-employed performers and writers. Fraternal understands the needs of self-employed people in the arts and has created tailor-made programs just for us.

Check it out at www.artsandentertainmentplan.com

This program has been designed with you in mind, and it’s affordable (you can choose to pay monthly).

For more information on the Arts & Entertainment Plan™ contact:

Email: admin@artsandentertainmentplan.com

Call: 1.800.387.8897

Put a safety net under your act.

Ferne Downey

ACTRA National President

PS: When you become a Full UBCP/ACTRA Member you will make a choice to receive your benefits either through the AFBS or Member Benefits Trust (MBT) program. Until that time, here’s an affordable benefits program that works for you.
