Four (4) Indian Tribe organizations in North Dakota will administer LIHEAP (tribal LIHEAP) for Indian households residing within the Reservation Boundaries. They are Standing Rock, Turtle Mountain, Fort Totten, and Fort Berthold Three Affiliated Tribes.

 

Tribal LIHEAP is not part of the state’s LIHEAP program.

 

Non-Indian households residing within the boundaries of the reservations will be served by the appropriate county social service board. Mixed households residing within these reservations that include both Indian and non-Indian adults may elect to be served by either the tribal organization or the county social service board, although the Indian or non-Indian designation of the head of the household is the normal determining factor.

 

The county social service boards involved must establish continuous lines of communications and coordination with the tribal organizations to resolve problems and avoid duplicate payments.

 

The county social service boards will serve both Indian and non-Indian households residing within the boundaries of the Lake Traverse reservation.
