The Sault Tribe Enrollment Department is introducing a new, streamlined process to claim your Elder Dividend check. From Aug. 1, through Oct. 1, 2026, an online application portal will be available. Elders will able to login and complete the process quickly and securely. Elder checks will be mailed in Jan. 2027.

This new system is designed to reduce processing time, lower administrative costs, and make the application process more efficient. It will also help eliminate issues such as lost or delayed forms.

As the rollout approaches, updates and additional details will be shared in the tribal newspaper and online at www.saulttribe.com.

For those who are unable to access the online portal, a paper application will continue to be mailed to the address we have on file.

If your address changes after submitting your application, whether online or by mail, you must contact the Enrollment Office to ensure your information is updated.
