Reinstatement Instructions Required for Fishers With Child Support Obligations
Under Lummi Indian Business Council Resolution #2026-109, fishers with child support obligations, including those with past-due support only, are required to sign a Conditional Tribal Fishing Validation and Child Support Compliance Agreement. One agreement is required per fisher, even if the fisher has more than one child support case.
October 16, 2026 deadline has passed.If you have not signed the required agreement, contact LNCSP promptly. Under the announced process, fishing validation is subject to suspension until the agreement is signed.
The agreement requires timely child support payments under your controlling order or compliance with an approved payment plan. If you cannot make the required payment, contact your assigned case manager to discuss your circumstances and possible arrangements.
Important: A fishing compliance payment plan does not modify your court-ordered child support amount. If you pay less than the ordered amount, unpaid support may continue to accrue as arrears. A modification of the court order requires a separate legal process.
