210 Annual Budgeting; Unfunded Program

§ 210 Annual Budgeting; Unfunded Program

A. The Tribal Council shall annually designate those funding sources that are available for the payment of Assistance benefits for each Tribal Assistance Program as part of the Tribe’s annual budgeting process. Sources that may be considered may include, but not be limited to, those from the San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe. 

B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Assistance payments authorized by this Title shall be "unfunded" for tax purposes and no Beneficiary shall have an interest in or right to any funds budgeted for or set aside for Assistance  payments  until  paid. Assistance benefits shall remain the assets of the Tribe until distributed, and the Approved Programs shall be administered at all times to avoid the doctrines of constructive receipt and/or economic benefit.
