208 Tribal Income and Need Requirements

ยง 208 Tribal Income and Need Requirements
Minimum standards of living and income requirements for purposes of determining a Beneficiary's qualification for needs based benefits shall be established by the Tribe and incorporated into each Tribal Assistance Program Handbook. The Tribe may look for guidance to federal requirements such as the federal poverty levels and federal earned income credit levels. However, the Tribe, as the sovereign government of the San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe, shall retain ultimate authority in establishing minimum standards of living in San Juan Southern Paiute Tribe communities. In doing so, the Tribal Council may take into account such issues as the number of dependents in a household, the level of household income, and household expenditures, and the average and median incomes in the Beneficiary's community, municipality or county.
