Relief Funds for Tribal Members Affected by COVID-19 to be Available Soon

PRESS RELEASE

On Saturday June 19th 2021 the Tribal Council of the Delaware Tribe of Indians voted unanimously to allocate $16.5M Dollars to facilitate a one-time $1500.00 payment to ALL Tribal Members who have been affected by Covid-19 and submit an application. The Tribal Council also passed a motion to assist parents with childcare costs. This motion set aside an additional $2M to distribute to the parents with children under the age of five (5). This allows the Delaware Tribe to give $3K per child to the parents to offset the cost of childcare. We are very excited to get this process started in the very near future. CARES ACT Guidelines require certain processes and we are developing and implementing those as fast as we can to get these payments out to the tribal members. At this time NO ACTION is necessary from the tribal members while we prepare for these distributions. The Delaware Tribe will release application opening dates and deadlines within the next 10 business days. We appreciate your cooperation and consideration.
