Utility Assistance
Yearly help with a Quapaw member’s home utility bills, paid directly to the utility company: up to $1,900 a year for elders 65 and older and up to $1,600 a year for members 64 and younger. Covers electric, sewer/sanitation, water, natural gas/propane and utility deposits; phone, cable and internet bills are not covered.
Who's eligible
Tribal Citizens Only
The 2026 guidelines state: "You must be an enrolled member of the Quapaw Nation or the legal guardian of an enrolled Quapaw child to be eligible to apply for and receive services." The service "is limited to the Head of Household"; if more than one Quapaw member lives in the household, the others are not eligible to apply. It pays the vendor only, for the primary residence only, and members must be 65 before January 1 to get the elder amount that year. Funding is first come, first served while it lasts.
