Senior Energy Assistance

This program is available nationwide for all enrolled Wyandotte citizens age 55+.  The program has a maximum benefit of $350, which will be paid directly to your utility service provider.  The application must be accompanied by a complete utility bill that contains the name of the company, account number and dates of service.  NOTE: Please continue to pay your bill as it may take up to 30 days for our payment to process on your account.

Elder Assistance

No income guidelines apply for this nationwide program: Elders age 55 and over are eligible to receive $350 each year for personal expenses.  Payment can be made to a vendor or reimbursed to the tribal citizen. Examples of eligible expenses include vehicle repairs, appliance purchases, insurance, utilities, groceries, fuel, and home repairs. Expenses that are NOT eligible for reimbursement through this program are alcohol, tobacco, lottery, and items/services purchased through the Supplemental Health Program (aka Benny Card).

Burial Assistance

This nationwide benefit of $3,500 is available for all Wyandotte nation citizens.  The benefit is only payable upon death and must be paid directly to the service provider, unless a paid in full receipt is provided along with the application.  Completed applications should include a copy of the death certificate and an itemized statement from the service provider.

Child Passenger Safety Seats

The program will provide one (1) seat per enrolled child.  Children must either be enrolled or have a completed enrollment application on file.  The only exceptions will be for expectant mothers who can have their physician complete the section on the application beginning in their 7th month and babies less than 6 months old.  Parents/legal guardians can choose to either purchase the seats and be reimbursed up to $200 or have the Family Services staff purchase the seat to be shipped. If applying for reimbursement, receipts must include the following: date, item purchase, item price, subtotal, tax, grand total and payment method (Visa, MC, PayPal, etc.). This program is available nationwide.

Junior / Senior Assistance

A $300 High School Junior/ Senior Expense Assistance Program (October 1 – September 30) is provided to tribal citizens nationwide to help offset the added expenses. The student must state the purpose of the assistance such as yearbook, cap and gown, announcements, letter jacket, pictures, class ring, Junior/Senior trip, college testing, prom, required class specific supplies or other related expense.

ELIGIBILITY

Family Services Programs & Services

Any tribal citizen who has an outstanding balance of more than 60 days due to any Wyandotte Nation department/program will not be eligible for any tribally funded services from the Family Services Department.  Those who have outstanding balances will receive a letter from the Family Services Director with details of their account(s) and will be given information about repayment options.

Family

The Benny Card

Supplemental Health Benefit

Each adult tribal citizen is eligible for a $1,500 benefit for medical/health related expenses. The maximum family benefit (adult tribal citizen with enrolled children, spouses are not covered) is $2,500.

The “Benny Card” can only be used at entities who have an approved IRS inventory control system in place. The program year is Jan. 1 to Dec. 31. You will not be able to use your debit card after this date for any expenses for the previous year. If you have expenses for that year which come in after the first of the year, you will need to pay them and file for reimbursement by Feb. 28. Beginning January 2024, the amounts increased to $1,500 for adults and $2,500 for families. Family Services staff can assist with basic questions regarding this program, but may refer tribal citizens to Trustmark (the company who manages this program for the Wyandotte Nation). You can call Trustmark at (877) 267-3359. Below is a link to a flyer with information regarding the Trustmark app. The app is a handy tool. You can check balances, file claims and view claim status.
