Warm Springs Vital Stats reminds Tribal Members that if you have any change to your address – there are address change forms at the Tribal Admin front desk.  You can also download a form from KWSO dot ORG. (https://kwso.org/2021/10/address-change-forms-due-for-ctws-tms/)   You can return the form to the Vital Statistic box outside the Admin building by the Tribal Council entrance.  Get your change of address form in today as they will start work on the November 15th payment to Tribal Members.  Forms received after today could mean a delay to making sure your payment envelope has your correct address.

Tribal Member families with youth who turned 18 this year need to make sure they are listed on your Post Office Box to receive mail.  COVID relief checks to Tribal members will go out on November 15th and the post office will return mail for anyone not listed for the PO address on the envelope.

Please continue to take COVID-19 precautions by wearing a face mask and maintaining 6 feet distance from others.  This can feel awkward when you interact with family and friends that don’t live with you or who you haven’t see in a while but it’s so important to still follow the protocols to keep our community safe.
