Shareholders can expect what was paid the previous year, and possibly an increase. There is no way for Shee Atik staff to predict mail time. Checks are mailed first class from Sitka as are letters and scholarship reminder cards. Shareholders can track mail from Shee Atik by the postmarked envelopes of these mailings. To avoid mail time, please sign up for direct deposit.
Direct deposits are available on distribution day.
Due to unpredictable mail times, Shee Atik 's policy is to wait 30 days from the check's date before issuing stop payments and reissuing a distribution. History has shown that original checks are often received before a stop payment, reissue process is complete. Banks set their policies regarding check cashing for persons without accounts. Shee Atik has no influence regarding any bank's policies. Consider opening one account to receive direct-deposit payments.
