The Oneida Nation of Wisconsin is offering a bonus for this year's per capita payments.

Tribal members already receive $800, $2,800 or $3,378 in casino profits depending on their age. Those 62 and under will receive an additional $5,000 while those over 62 will get another $10,000.

The money comes out of profits from the tribe's gaming enterprise. The payments to 16,000 members will total $88 million, a spokesperson said.

The tribe has been distributing per capita payments since 1994.
