If you are a tribe administering a general assistance program, you can develop and submit to us a tribal redesign plan to change the way that you administer the program.
(a)
A tribal redesign plan allows a tribe to:
(1)
Change eligibility for general assistance in the service area; or
(2)
Change the amount of general assistance payments for individuals within the service area.
(b)
If you develop a tribal redesign plan it must:
(1)
Treat all persons in the same situation equally; and
(2)
Will not result in additional expenses for the Bureau solely because of any increased level of payments.
