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.
