Indian descendents residing off the reservation may be eligible if they meet certain conditions. Pursuant to 42 C.F.R. 136.23 (a)(2)(i) and (ii), if not residing on the reservation such individuals must live within the CHSDA and (1) be members of the tribe(s) located on the associated reservation or (2) “maintain close economic and social ties with that tribe or tribes.” Also see 42 C.F.R.136.23(b) related to students and transients, and 42 C.F.R.136.23(d) for foster children placed off the reservation.
