Today (May 24, 2021<\/em>), the Department of the Treasury announced a 2-week extension<\/a> for tribal governments to submit their requests for payments from the $20 billion tribal portion of the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund. The extension is due to numerous requests from tribal leaders experiencing technical issues.<\/p>\n

While the deadline has been extended, it is crucial that tribal governments complete the process of requesting payments from the Treasury Submission Portal<\/a> as soon as possible in order to receive their share of the funds.<\/p>\n

Payments to tribal governments will take place in two tranches. The first payment will be $1 billion equally divided among tribal governments, as statutorily required, as well as 65% of the remaining funds ($12.35 billion) based on self-certified tribal enrollment numbers. The second payment will be the remaining 35% of funds ($6.65 billion) based off of 2019 tribal employment numbers. <\/p>\n

The deadline to request the first payment is now Monday, June 7, 2021 at 11:59 pm PST.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Treasury estimates it will take 4-5 days to process each submission, after which they will reach out to the point of contact with the allocation amount the tribe will receive and an anticipated date for the funds to be transferred. <\/p>\n

To receive the second payment, Treasury will reach out to the designated point of contact asking this person to reenter the Submission Portal<\/a> and confirm or amend the tribe’s 2019 employment numbers that they already submitted to Treasury following the passage of the CARES Act.<\/p>\n

The deadline to affirm or amend these numbers is now June 21, 2021 at 11:59 PM PST.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If a tribal government does not confirm or amend employment numbers by this deadline, the tribal government will not be eligible to receive a share of the employment allocation.<\/strong><\/p>\n
