The Sault Tribe Enrollment Department is introducing a new, streamlined process for Elders to claim their Elder Dividend Check. The online application portal will be available August 1 through October 1, which is much earlier than past years.
Elders will login and complete the process quickly and securely. Elder checks will be mailed in January 2027.
This new system is designed to reduce processing time, lower administrative costs, and make the application process more efficient. It will also help eliminate issues such as lost or delayed forms.
As the rollout approaches, updates and additional details will be shared on the tribe's website, in the tribe's newspaper and updates will be posted on the Sault Tribe Guardian.
For those who are unable to access the online portal, a paper application will continue to be mailed to the address we have on file.
If your address changes after submitting your application, whether online or by mail, you must contact the Enrollment Office to ensure your information is updated. Call 906‑632‑8552 or email enrollment@saulttribe.net.
It is unclear if Elders will receive a mailed notice of this change or if they will simply receive their form if they do not register on-line.
Why Vote No ? Because is you don't your current rights will be reduced along with the fact that this is an opportunity to offer equal rights to all which is not included in the updated constitution. Protect Article III Section One of the By-Laws.
