CHAPTER 1--BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS
Sec. 13d-3. Tribal authority to change eligibility for, or
amount of, general assistance payments
On and after October 21, 1998, notwithstanding any other provision
of law, Indian tribal governments may, by appropriate changes in
eligibility criteria or by other means, change eligibility for general
assistance or change the amount of general assistance payments for
individuals within the service area of such tribe who are otherwise
deemed eligible for general assistance payments so long as such changes
are applied in a consistent manner to individuals similarly situated
and, that any savings realized by such changes shall be available for
use in meeting other priorities of the tribes and, that any net increase
in costs to the Federal Government which result solely from tribally
increased payment levels for general assistance shall be met exclusively
from funds available to the tribe from within its tribal priority
allocation.
