The Choctaw Nation is giving its members $2,000 apiece in universal basic income from stimulus funds. Other tribes are trying similar things.
The Choctaw Nation announced last week it will use funding from the American Rescue Plan to send additional relief payments, essentially a fourth stimulus check for its members. The Choctaw Nation isn't the only tribe to send a fourth round of checks out; at least three other tribes have announced similar payment programs.
All Choctaw members aged 18 to 54 can receive $1,000 annually for two years starting next month, while those younger than 18 can receive an annual payment of $700 for two years, according to a . That's just over half of the $1.1 billion the Choctaw Nation received from ARP. The March stimulus package allocated $20 billion to tribal governments.
The Navajo Nation is extending the payment program created from the CARES Act of 2020 with funds from ARP. Applications will close at the end of September and all Navajo members who experienced"hardship" due to the pandemic are eligible.
