What in actors agreements is not regulated by SAG?

• A. Resid residuals
• B. Credits
• C. Health benefits
• D. Dubbing rights

Answer: (B)

The thing being tested is which aspects of an actor’s agreement are governed by SAG-AFTRA in its contracts. SAG-AFTRA sets the terms for how performers are paid on an ongoing basis, including residuals for reruns or streaming, and it provides health benefits through the union’s plans. It also covers rights related to how performances may be used in other media, such as dubbing or voice-overs for different languages or regions. However, on-screen credits—the way a performer is credited in the film or show and the order of names—are not dictated by SAG-AFTRA as a standard contractual term. Credits are primarily a production decision and are governed more by production credit rules, arbitration provisions, or separate agreements, rather than by the core actor contract negotiated with the union. So credits are not regulated by SAG in the way residuals, health benefits, and dubbing rights are.
