Important Social Assistance News/update! I have included our policy and procedure for Rent and Bill payment and collection; I have also included some information about Special Needs.
Social Assistance News STUBS ARE DUE ON THE 26TH AT NOON! PLEASE BRING IN SO I CAN PROCESS AS I WILL BE AWAY FROM THE 29THSEPT 7/16 ON HOLIDAYS! IF YOU DO NOT HAVE YOUR STUB IN YOU WILL NOT GET A CHEQUE UNTIL THE 7TH OF SEPTEMBER. NO ONE ELSE IN THE BAND OFFICE CAN ISSUE A CHEQUE FOR YOU. NO EXCEPTIONS AFTER THE 26TH UNTIL MY RETURN.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES DO WE ALLOW FOR ANYONE TO SIGN STUBS FOR SOMEONE ELSE! IF THEY DO NOT OR CANNOT SIGN WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO BELIEVE THEY ARE NOT HERE OR HAVEN’T BEEN LIVING HERE FOR THE MONTH AS THEY DO HAVE A MONTH TO SIGN THE STUBS!

You will need to repay the monies that you have received dated to the day you started collecting. It will not be just the person that claimed that they were living somewhere they weren’t but also the person that didn’t report it or simply wrote in a letter supporting false information.
