Payment amounts to Tribal governments from the Coronavirus Relief Fund (the “Fund”) are to
be determined by the Secretary of the Treasury in consultation with the Secretary of the Interior
and Indian Tribes.1
The Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) appreciates the participation by a great number of
Indian Tribes in this consultation process and the submissions made by Indian Tribes in response
to Treasury’s request for information relevant to the allocation of payments to be made to Tribal
governments. Treasury’s recently posted guidance and frequently asked questions regarding the
eligible uses of payments reflect its consideration of comments provided during this consultation.
Treasury continues to review the Tribal governments’ submissions as they relate to a
determination of the allocation of payments to Tribal governments. Once this determination is
made, Treasury will post details of the allocation on this website.
After consultation with the Department of the Interior, Treasury has concluded that Alaska
Native regional and village corporations as defined in or established pursuant to the Alaska
Native Claims Settlement Act2 are eligible to receive payments from the Fund in the amounts to
be determined by the Secretary of the Treasury. In determining the appropriate allocation of
payments to Tribal governments, Treasury intends to take steps to account for overlaps between
Alaskan Native village membership and Alaska Native corporation shareholders or other
beneficiaries.
