you need 3 SAG waivers to be eligible for SAG. In New York, producers must first hire at least 85 background actors who are members of SAG before they can employ non-sag background actors. In Los Angeles, the number drops to 45. If the producer can't meet these requirements, any non-sag actor they use will receive a sag waiver, which basically means that the non-union actor is covered under the SAG agreement and is entitled to all it's benefits for the day he is working on the set..
