Hopefully, you have received the email sent out today from the Native American Financial Officers Association (NAFOA) urging you to send a letter of support for S. 4898. This new legislation will extend the period for all states, tribes, and territories to use the Coronavirus Relief Fund payments from December 30, 2020, to September 30, 2021. California Indian Legal Services strongly urges tribes to submit the letter of support for S. 4898 using the support letter template provided by NAFOA (download the letter here) or contact CILS for any assistance or questions you may have.
You can reach out to NAFOA’s Executive Director, Dante Desiderio, at Danta@nafoa.org or (202) 631-2003 or Mica Llerandi at mllerandi@calindian.org. Thank you.
Stay safe and healthy.
