This web page is a listing of the available programs and services. For more information contact the Judgment Fund Office. Sincerely Jerry Haney Principal Chief of the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma. According to federal law, the state and federal government may not impose taxes on benefits awarded to individuals. Federally assisted programs such as Social Security cannot count judgment fund program benefits as income when determining whether a person is eligible for federal program benefits.
Tribal law establishes the following judgment fund programs.
The Seminole Nation will continue to operate each program from year to year, providing that sufficient funds are available and the General Council budgets the funds for programs. Programs are not designed to provide benefits to each individual each year. Instead, the programs have a limit for the amount of assistance which may be received by an individual. In addition to these basic requirements, each program has its own eligibility requirements. The student must be between the ages of four and nineteen years of age.
