Public comment on the CSKT TANF plan sought

The Confederated Salish and Kooteanai Tribes are seeking input on the proposed revision to the CSKT TANF plan. A listening session will be held on June 25, 2007 in Tribal Council chambers (new complex) from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. to seek public opinion on those elements of the plan that are discretionary such as:
   • who is eligible for TANF assistance;
   • what supports should be provided; and
   • what are mandatory elements of the plan such as mentoring and drug tests.

Please note that the required work hours for benefit are not a discretionary item that can be changed. Those are a firm requirement. Participants are invited to come and will be given five minutes to comment in person or a form can be filled out and returned to the DHRD Department.

Please come - refreshments will be served.
