Alaska Native Settlement Trust Eligibility Act
Summary
The Alaska Native Settlement Trust Eligibility Act (H.R. 2687) would prevent certain payments from Alaska Native settlement trusts from being counted as income or assets when determining eligibility for federal need-based programs. This change specifically applies to Alaska Natives or their descendants who are aged, blind, or disabled. By excluding these trust distributions, the bill ensures that receiving these benefits does not disqualify vulnerable individuals from essential assistance programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
