Published March 21, 2022

By Chief Gary Batton

Halito,

I hope that 2022 has been good to you thus far! I wanted to provide you with an update regarding the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) year 2 funding.

For those who received funding in year 1, you will be required to verify your address in the Chahta Achvffa portal before year 2 funds will be mailed. You can start verifying addresses on July 1st. Please note that you will not receive your disbursement if your address hasn’t been verified.

You have until June 30th to apply for both year 1 and year 2 Economic Impact Recovery funds.

We hope these dollars assist you during these difficult and trying times. We encourage tribal members to stay updated on ARPA programs via the COVID-19 Relief services.

Yakoke and God bless!
