Burial Assistance (BIA)
Bureau of Indian Affairs help with minimum burial expenses for an indigent Indian person, according to Bureau payment standards. This is separate from the Quapaw member burial benefit.
Who's eligible
Any Enrolled Tribal Member Income Based Geographic
The Family Services page describes "financial support on behalf of an indigent Indian who meets eligibility requirements to assist with minimum burial expenses according to Bureau payment standards established by the Assistant Secretary," for eligible tribal members "residing in Ottawa County." The BIA application requires proof of tribal membership, residency and income and asks for the applicant's tribe; a Burial Consent Form is also required.
