The Seneca-Cayuga Nation is excited to announce that benefits and elder payments are currently being processed and paid as funds are available. The Benefits Department has a large backlog. Please be patient as our staff are working through requests as quickly as possible and in the order that they are received. If you have submitted a request, please do not send a duplicate request as this will only slow the process speed. If you have questions about an existing request, you may email benefits@SCTribe.com.
