2005 Casino Revenue Distribution
The Tribal Council has passed a resolution authorizing a distribution
of casino revenue to Tribal members through the Member Benefits De
partment. Distribution Date: Thursday, December 15, 2005.
Eligibility: In order to receive a per-capita payment, you must be
living as of January 1, 2005, and an enrolled member of the Tribe as
of December 8, 2005. A check will be automatically generated for
members 18 years of age as of December 15, 2005. Children born in
2005, assuming they meet all other eligibility requirements, are eli
gible for the December 15, 2005 distribution. For those members un
der the age of 18 funds will be distributed into their trust accounts.
The amount is not yet determined and we will not have that
information until sometime the first week of December.
NO REQUEST FORM NEEDED FOR THIS DISTRIBUTION
Checks may be picked up at the Tribal Gymnasium, located at
the Education Facility on December 15, 2005, between the hours
of 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Any checks not picked up that day will be
mailed to the address we have on file on Thursday, December 15,
2005.
Payments from casino revenues are subject to federal, and where
applicable, state income taxes. Tribal members are responsible for
any tax due as a result of this payment.
-CASHING CHECKS AT CASINO-
We would like to inform all Tribal members of the process that has
been initiated at the casino for you to cash your checks with the great
est amount of speed and efficiency; including the identification that
will be required.
On Thursday, December 15, we will have five windows set up in
the Bingo Hall for your convenience. In order to simplify the han
dling of checks for all Tribal members four of the windows will be
divided up by the first letter of your last name. The fifth window
will be designated for Tribal Elders. These windows will be ready
to assist you in the cashing of your checks quickly and easily.
Please bring your Tribal ID card or other proof of identification.
You will also be asked for your current physical address as this is a
requirement by the IRS.
If you have any questions or need any further information please
contact Scott Mode, Cage Manager at 503-879-3922 or a Cage Super
visor at 503-879-3729.
