April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. In Warm Springs the Children’s Protective Services and the Health and Human Services Branch
hosted a walk from the CPS home at the campus to the community center. Many young people made the walk, with CPS and other youth

Puyallup Tribe prevails in IRS taxation dispute
The Puyallup Tribe of
Washington has prevailed in
a taxation dispute with the
Internal Revenue Service.
The IRS issued a levy to
the tribe in hopes of garnish-
ing future per capita pay-
ments to a tribal member.
The judge in the case,
however, said the levy
doesn’t apply to the pay-
ments, which are not “fixed
and determinable” and are
issued solely at the tribe's dis-
cretion.
“A levy may reach a delin-
quent taxpayer’s current bal-
ance, but may not reach sub-
sequent deposits to that bank
account," Judge Settle wrote
in the April decision. “Simi-
larly, a levy may attach to a
tribal member’s currently au-
thorized per capita payment,
but may not reach subse-
quently authorized per capita
payments.”
The judge acknowledged
he was ruling on a matter of
“first impression, meaning it
hasn’t been settled in the
courts.
An appeal by the federal
government is likely due to
the new issues presented in
the case and the potential to
impact future tribal per capita
disputes.
