If you submitted your application through email or online, you will receive an email response when your application has been received. You will be contacted further if there is a problem or if you are required to resubmit. There is no need to submit more than once unless contacted and told to do so by our Tribal Programs Specialists.

If there is a problem with your application or it has been denied, you will be notified by the form in which you submitted your application (for example, if you submitted via email, you will be contacted via email).

We will accept applications for the ARPA Emergency Relief Aid Program until September 30, 2022!

No worries. You may submit your application without your roll number; however, we encourage our citizens to submit your application for a duplicate/new Tribal ID as soon as possible. You can download this application here, or stop by the office to apply for your duplicate ID in person.

Additionally, to protect your privacy as a citizen of the Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma, we will not be able to give information regarding your citizenship over the phone.

Application and Policy Guidelines for relief distribution were mailed out the week of October 25. If your correct address is on file, you should be receiving one soon. We will also post the application into our Quarterly Newsletter. Additionally, the application is available for download at www.peoriatribe.com/arpa.

All Peoria Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma citizens, including children, who were enrolled as of September 22, 2021 are eligible to apply for and receive relief from this program.

With a minor child’s application, an I.D. for the child is not necessary; however, the signing parent/guardian of that application must attach their I.D. to the child’s application.

The amount each eligible citizen will receive is $3,200.

If you do not have any kind of legal custody arrangement with your child, then you will not need to submit proof of such! Documentation is only needed for children which are currently living under a court-ordered custody or foster arrangement.

This is okay. You will still be eligible for relief if you certify that yourself and/or family falls under at least 1 of the 3 Financial Need Certification categories.
