~ ELIGIBILITY FOR DISTRIBUTIONS FROM THE MINOR’S TRUST ~
____________________________________
**READ THOROUGHLY BEFORE RETRIEVING DISTRIBUTION APPLICATION**
If you are age 18 by December 31, 2024, and on the approved list of eligible Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribal members per Resolution PL#34-18, then you are eligible to apply for the Minor’s Trust. (See Resolution on our website at plpt.nsn.us/enrollment). This is for those enrolled as a Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribal member and living as of April 6, 2018.)
Please do not submit early to expect an earlier distribution before your birthday – all qualified Minors’ applications will be submitted upon the indicated Quarterly Deadline. This application must include:
- An updated address with our Enrollment Officer, Joanne Shaw.
- A clear scanned copy of your Photo ID, and;
- Either the checking mailing section completely filled out with legible mailing address, or;
- A deposit slip from your bank with ACH wire transfer number and account number if you request an electronic deposit. The routing number must match the one on a check or direct bank form (you may download a form from the PLPT website or acquire one from your bank as well) – do not submit a generic deposit ticket; this can cause delays with your deposit. Your bank account must have your name on it – funds cannot be deposited into someone else’s account.
Please make sure that your contact information is CLEAR and LEGIBLE in case you need to be reached. If there are any questions from the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe staff that are processing your paperwork, PLEASE leave a distinguishable email address and make sure that your voicemail box is set on your cellphone.
The tax information brackets on top of the second page MUST be completed, or this will cause a delay in your payment. If delayed, your application won’t be processed in time, and you will have to wait until the next quarter to receive your funds. The 4th Quarter deadline for year 2024 will be December 31, 2024.
Once your application is processed, you can expect a 1-2 month wait until your funds are distributed – the Tribe is responsible for verifying your information and submitting your forms. Because Minors’ funds are in a trust, please understand that this quarterly process is because funds are calculated by the length of time it has gathered interest sitting in that trust; it is NOT distributed like the Adults’.
Minors will have up to six years to complete their forms and claim their economic stimulus payment. The six-year count starts on your 18th birthday.
Reminder that the deadline to submit your forms for this 4th Quarter of 2024 is on the last Tuesday of December 2024. Applications received by 12/31/24 will be processed and forwarded to the Trust the next business day. Applications received after 12/31/24 will be held until the next quarter submission, which is March 31, 2025. Reminder, it is your responsibility to ensure that your form is received COMPLETE and date-stamped by September 30, 2024.
Forms are available online under the Enrollment tab at http://plpt.nsn.us/departments/enrollment/ or you can request a mailed form by emailing Joanne Shaw, Enrollment Officer, at [email protected], or Michelle Mix, Administrative Assistant, at [email protected]. Please make sure to download the MINOR’S DISTRIBUTION FORM from our website under the Enrollment tab at plpt.nsn.us.
Please disregard if you have already sent in your form.

PL Resolution #34-18 Payment Roll Enrollment Committee April 6 2018
: : FACT SHEET FOR MINOR’S DISTRIBUTION: :
- Funds will be received at least 2-3 months after deadline. Please plan accordingly.
- All Minors’ Applications are processed at the same time – turning in a form earlier than the deadline doesn’t ensure a faster result.
- The whole process goes from receiving and verifying your information with our PLPT Enrollment office, which includes verifying Enrollment numbers, social security numbers and updated addresses. The paperwork is then submitted immediately to the Trust Company, which is then processed there for at least a month. The Trust Company then submits their completed forms to the Bank, and after verification with the bank, your money will THEN be distributed – this sometimes takes up to 1-2 MONTHS. Please plan accordingly, and expect that your money will arrive 1-2 MONTHS after the Quarter Deadline.
- The Trust company will contact the PLPT office for more information according to their standards – your contact information needs to be legible just in case we need to reach you. If you can’t be reached, your form will be held until you contact us.
