Page 9 Notice from the CRIT Enrollment Office: COLORADO RIVER INDIAN TRIBES TRIBAL MEMBER VACCINATION INCENTIVE PROGRAMMODIFICATION (February 10, 2022). Fully vaccinated Tribal members are eligible to receive cash pay- ments of $500 or $250 thanks to an incentive program just approved by the Colorado River Indian Tribes. CRIT is implementing the program using funds received by the Tribes pursuant to the American Rescue Plan Act. Every Tribal member 18 and up who receives both doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines or the required single dose of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine is eligible for a one-time payment of $500. The payment is $250 for Tribal members between 5 and 17 years of age. Those who have been previously vaccinated are eligible. Tribal Council Chairwoman Amelia Flores stated, “For us to truly defeat the pan- demic, everyone who can be vaccinated should be vaccinated. Until that happens, more of our members risk becoming sick or dying. We can’t let this happen. These incentives are a wise use of dollars that provide some economic relief as well as pre- venting the spread of COVID-19." The application deadline has been extended to April 30, 2022. For more information, including eligibility and Application Form, go to crit-nsn.gov. Submit completed Applications to the CRIT Enrollment Department, 26600 Mohave Road, Parker, AZ 85344 COVID-19 TESTING AHEAD ENROLLMENT DEPARTMENT INFORMATION: The Enrollment Department is continuously updating the current addresses of all tribal members.
