Warm Springs PD reminds everyone that the Tribes have closed all campgrounds, parks, and lakes located within the boundaries of the Reservation.  While some access is available to Tribal Members, access to these areas is prohibited to non-Tribal members and the closures will be strictly enforced.   Many of the access roads throughout the reservation are closed to non-residents.  With less traffic – speeding has increased.  The Warm Springs Police Department has increased patrols on Highway 26 and in many of the outlying areas to help maintain safety – so please SLOW DOWN.

The CARES act authorized a payment of $1200 dollars to individuals with the initial disbursement going out as automatic payments to bank accounts for tax filers who had their account information on file with the IRS from refund payments this or last year.  Social Security recipients who don’t file a tax return will receive the payment as well.  Those who have their monthly funds automatically deposited into a bank account should get their payment in that manner.  For taxpayers or SSI recipients that don’t have automatic deposits – you will get a check.  For more details online visit IRS dot gov including instruction for non-tax filers about how to sign up for your payment (https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus/economic-impact-payments)
