Tribe creates Enrollment
Audit hotline
The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde has created an En
rollment Audit hotline with which to collect frequently asked
questions from the Tribal membership.
The goal of the hotline is to develop a list of commonly asked
questions regarding the audit information that was distributed
in the April Tilixam Wawa.
The answers to those questions will be published in an upcom
ing Tilixam Wawa, as well as be distributed to the membership
in an information packet.
Please ask general questions only; please do not leave personal
inquiries regarding yourself or family.
The toll-free phone number is 877-645-2641. D
Timber checks to be direct deposited
If there is a timber distribution check this year, it will be direct deposited
with the December per capita distribution, said Tribal Member Services
Program Manager Penny DeLoe.
If Tribal members do not have direct deposit, the timber distribution
will be cut as a check.
Tribal members can set up direct deposit by contacting the Member
Services Department at 503-879-2490. D
