Death Benefits and Designated
Beneficiaries
Tribal members have Death Benefits that pay up
to $6,000 for funeral and burial costs. Any
amount over $6,000 is the responsibility of the
family/person making arrangements to pay.
If the Tribal member completes the Designated
Death Benefit Beneficiary form, then their
beneficiary is paid $1,000. There is no restriction
on how the beneficiary spends the money and
there is no default beneficiary, such as a parent
or spouse. The Designated Death Benefit
Beneficiary form must be notarized before
submitting to the Enrollment Department.
1,649 members do not have a Designated Death
Beneficiary. No money can be paid on those
accounts. Due to deaths, re-marriages, etc., some
forms are outdated and will result in money not
going to the desired beneficiary.
