Day School deadline TOMORROW

07/12/2022

The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke (MCK) wishes to remind the community that the Indian Day School (IDS) Settlement Agreement deadline is TOMORROW.

The official Claims Deadline is July 13th, 2022 at 11:59 PM Pacific Standard Time (3 AM Eastern Time in Kahnawà:ke). All claims must be received by the Administrator by the Claims Deadline. It is the Claimants′ responsibility to ensure their claim meets the Claims Deadline.

In order to meet the Claims Deadline:

• Claims submitted by email or fax must be received by the Claims Administrator or have an electronic, system-generated date stamp of no later than July 13, 2022, at 11:59 PM PST
• Claims Submitted by regular mail or courier must be received by the Claims Administrator or postmarked by Canada Post or courier service provider by no later than July 13, 2022, at 11:59 PM PST. For clarity, the term "postmark" refers to an official mark stamped on a letter or package by either Canada Post or a courier service indicating the date and time that the correspondence was received by Canada Post/courier service. A postmark may not be automatically applied by the post office or courier service. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the Claimant to request and obtain a postmark on their claim submission
• For greater certainty, a Claim submission may be received by the Claims Administrator after July 13, 2022, at 11:59 PM PST, so long as the electronic, system-generated date stamp (in the case of email or fax) or postmark (in the case or regular mail or courier) indicated on the correspondence is before the Claims Deadline)

Claims submitted by regular mail or courier that are received by the Claims Administrator after the deadline without a postmark will be deemed to have been received after the Deadline and may not be accepted.
