Are You Aware of The Be Well Benefit?

Are you enrolled in Critical Illness Insurance or Hospital Insurance with UNUM under your employee benefits with the Tribe? If so, you are eligible for a $50 incentive called the Be Well benefit. This benefit pays $50 to the employee or their dependents under the employee’s critical illness or hospital insurance plans if they completed a Be Well screening such as an annual exam, cancer screenings, or even immunizations!

Employees who are enrolled in critical illness and hospital insurances are still eligible to submit claims that happened in 2022 if they have not filed a claim.

Filing a claim is easy! You can call 1-800-635-5597 or file online at unum.com. We are also available to help you if you need assistance or have any questions. Email us at Employee.Benefits@mhanation.com or visit us at our office located in the old Tribal Administration Building, 404 Frontage Road, New Town.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are a few most frequently questions.
Answered by the department

A:  A criminal record or felony conviction does not automatically disqualify you from employment with MHA Nation. However, certain positions, such as working with children, elders, disabled, or vulnerable adults have specific requirements which will prohibit employment.

A:  The background check may include local/state/federal criminal history checks, Tribal court records, employment and education verifications, reference checks, and additional information depending on the position and department. Background checks may cover the last 10 years, or for positions with contact or control over children, elders or disabled, the checks will cover your entire history.

A: To ensure your job application is completed and processed, complete the job application in its entirety, attach 2 valid forms of ID (copied front and back, NO PICTURES), and proof of education.

Q: What happens to the job application once I submit it to Human Resources?
