Tribal Council approved a second assistance payment to be distributed to Tribal Members over the age of 18 in the amount of $1,100. The payment is part of the Tribal Member Covid-19 Emergency Assistance Program and provides on-going emergency financial assistance to enrolled, adult tribal members. The program utilizes CARES Act funding from the federal government.

Checks in the amount of $1,100 were automatically mailed to all tribal members that received the first round of funding in the amount of $1,800. Tribal members that had not received the first round of funding were provided the opportunity to apply for round 1 and round 2. The deadline for submission was November 30. All tribal members were mailed the application and guidelines last month.
