the largest bills at $74. 10 per summer

"It's good to sec wc placed so

June, July and August 1986. Sur
vey results reflect the typical summer
electric bill, based on 300 kilowatt
hours per month.
A similar NARUC study each

Legislation puts hold on plans
Ne Perce tribal officials say
Legislation pending in Congress
may thwart the Tribe's plans to buy
timber land with revenues from
tax-exempt bonds.
7 he Tribe wants to buy almost
16.000 acres of timbered land in
Ne Perce County and finance the
purchase with a tax-exempt $3.6
million bond issue.
But a proposed amendment in
M - , i
k ft . .
ilvi: rsJftim
the U.S. House would partially
withdraw (he tax-exemption granted
to interest earned on bonds issued
by tribal governments.
Tribal officials say banks have
backed out of negotiations to sell
the bonds pending resolution of
the issue.
Meanwhile, the tribal council is
looking at the possibility of nego
tiating a direct commercial loan
with banks, rather than raising the
money through a bond issue.

Court Notices
The Supplemental Security income
(SSI) disability program adminis
tered by the Social Security Admini
stration has special incentives to
help disabled people who are cur
rently receiving these benefits return
to work. Originally introduced as a
demonstration project by the Social
Security Amendments of 1980, the
Employment Opportunities for Dis
abled Americans Act signed into
law last October makes these pro
visions permanent.
Under the new law, trial work
periods and substantial gainful acti
vity determinations no longer will
be factors in determining eligibility
for SSI. Once a person is on the
rolls, his or her level of earnings
will not affect their status of being
blind or disabled.
This means that SSI eligiblity
will not stop because of work activ
ity alone. An individual's SSI dis
ability status will only end when
the person medically improves or
has been ineligible for any SSI
payment for 1 2 consecutive months.
However, since SSI payments
are based upon financial need, they
must still be reduced in proportion
to increases in income, including
earnings. The checks stop for any
month countable income exceeds
the SSI limits. They may be rein
stated, generally without a new
application, for any month the per
son remains disabled and income
drops below the SSI limits.
Even when earnings from work
become too high for an individual
to receive SSI cash benefits, medi
cal coverage under the State admini
stered Medicaid program may con
tinue if certain conditions are met.
The person must still be disabled,
be unable to afford similar benef
its, and be unable to work without
Medicaid assistance.
Additional information about
these and other special work incen
tives for disabled people can be
obtained from the Social Security
office located at 39 N.W. Louisi
ana, Bend, Oregon. The toll free
phone number is I -800-452-1 654.

All three banks had the same
comments on why individuals have
difficulty cashing checks. The rea
sons the banks gave are:
1) Lack of proper I.D.
2) Cashing of some else's check
without proper endorsement by
the payee.
3) Inebriated to the point where
a signature docs not match that of
the I D.
To cash a tribal check, with a
minimum of inconvenience, take
the following steps:
1) Take two pieces of I.D. con
taining your picture and signature.
2) If the check is written to
someone else, make sure they have
properly endorsed the check.
3) Sign the check in a legible
manner and make sure the signa
ture matches the signature on the
I.D.
The Madras branches of First
Interstate Bank and U.S. National
Bank will cash the check for free.
Juniper Bank will charge six dol
lars to cash the check if you do not
have an account with them; how
ever Juniper Bank is open on Sat
irday mornings.

Accounting department issues a reminder
Just a reminder that in 1982, a
memorandum came out from Doug
and Ed with regard to Departmen
tal Social Functions. "The Tribes
will no longer pay for expenses
connected with birthday parties,
weddings, baby showers, anniver
saries or going away parties. The
expenses for these functions must
be funded by the employees.
Further, the Tribes will not pay
for snacks used by departmental
employees. The Tribes will con
tinue to pay for expenses connected
with retirement parties which have
been approved in advance by the
appropriate Branch Manager. Also,
the Tribes will continue to pay for
coffee consumed by departmental
employees."
There was also another memo in
1 982 with regards to charge accounts
at Macy's store. "Because of the
large volume of unneccessary food
items and other purchases being
charged to the Tribe through var
ious charge accounts at Macy's, it
has become necessary to consider a
specific policy regarding these
charges. After careful review of the
situation and the unnecessary pro
blems and expenses it has created,
it will be our policy that only those
programs offering food service as
part of their function (i.e. Head
start, Police, Day Care, Tribal Coun
cil and committees, etc.) will be
authorized to continue charging
food items at Macy's. The Tribe
will continue to provide coffee only
to employees; however, tea, sugar,
cream, junk food items, etc. should
be purchased at your own expense.
Other items also being charged at
Macy's such as tools and office
supplies should be ordered through
Purchasing in the routine manner."
This was from the Secretary-Treasurer.
