• One-time emergency financial assistance for more substantial needs, such as rent or child care

Eligible individuals for relief stipends are those who:

• Reside and/or work in Teton County, Wyoming.
• Work full-time for a federal institution (i.e. National Park Service, Bridger-Teton/Caribou-Targhee National Forest, National Fish Hatchery, National Elk Refuge, Transportation Security Administration or other federal entities).

Stipends through our Relief for Federal Workers program are intended to provide support per individual. If a household has more than one adult member employed through the federal government, each individual may apply (i.e., a household with two adults who work for the national park would be eligible for two stipends, totaling $500 in gift cards).

Emergency Financial Assistance through this program is available per household. In the example above, the household would only apply for emergency financial assistance one time.

Yes! If you received a stipend between October 10 and 28, during our first round of support, you are eligible to apply again. Our second round of stipend support began on October 29 and will be open until November 14 or until the government reopens, whichever comes first.

Our team is working as quickly as possible to process relief applications. We will text or email you to let you know if you have been approved and with further pick-up instructions. Gift card pick-up will take place at One22’s main office at 180 S Willow Street in Jackson.
