Tribal Member Employee Loans

Posted on by Shane Steindorf

On March 23, 2020 the Legislature approved the following motion:

“To suspend tribal member employee loan payments of those who have been laid off or reduced in work force, and deferring it to the end of the loan until the end of the State of Emergency.” 

Upon recall of laid off employees, the weekly deductions will commence.

For those employees that have been laid off or experiencing reduced working hours, and wish to continue paying weekly payments, forward to HCN Treasury Department.

Food Distribution delivers during COVID-19 crisis

Posted on by doubleup

On Thursday, April 2, 2020, volunteers and employees helped with commodities distribution at the Ho-Chunk Resort and Casino in Wisconsin Dells. Because of the COVID-19 crisis, drivers were required to remain in their vehicles while volunteers and employees placed food in the backs of their vehicles. Ho-Chunk Nation President Marlon WhiteEagle was one of the volunteers, doing his part to help people who are struggling to put food on the table. According to Food Distribution Director Andrew Rave, the Trump Administration has allocated more funds to help people in need, which may mean employees who were laid off due to the crisis may soon be able to obtain commodities as well.
People wanting to apply to receive commodities can fill out a form at: http://health.ho-chunk.com/docs/FOOD_DISTRIBUTION_APPLICATION.pdf and return it to Food Distribution Program, N6562 Lumber Jack Guy Road, Black River Falls, WI 54642.
