Making consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 5

The operation of Indian programs account of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Of the total, not more than $78,494,000 is for welfare assistance payments, and the Secretary may exceed that cap in a designated federal disaster to provide relief to affected Indian communities. Separate accounts fund contract support costs, tribal leases, construction and Indian education.

What the document actually says

“and the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act of 1975 (25 U.S.C. 5301 et seq.), $1,933,200,000, to remain available until September 30, 2027”

That sentence, in plain words

Indian programs get $1,933,200,000. The money can be used until September 30, 2027.

What this is about

The bureau works with tribal governments. Much of the money passes to the tribes to run programs themselves. A capped share pays welfare help.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
