TGB Approves $1,000 Utility Support Payment for Tribal Member Households in Service Area

The Lac Courte Oreilles Tribal Governing Board (TGB) unanimously approved providing a Utility Support Payment in the amount of $1,000 to LCO Tribal Member households located within the Tribe's Service Area of Sawyer County and adjacent counties only.

This Utility Support Payment is intended to assist with propane, electric, cable, internet and water/sewer. The total benefit will not exceed $1,000 and there is no cash value, any bill not reaching the $1,000 will not rollover into a cash benefit.

Applications will not be accepted until Monday, March 3, 2025, and will be accepted for 60 days from that date. The payment will be made approximately 14 days after application is received.

The Utility Support Payment will be made directly to the vendor(s) of your choice and is limited to one benefit per Tribal Member household, and may be split among multiple vendors. Multiple applications for one household will not be accepted and will delay your utility support payment.

TGB reminds everyone to continue paying your bills to avoid any disconnections while waiting for the utility assistance.

Details on the application procedure and deadlines will be released soon.
