Congressman Carl Albert announced that a per capita payment for Choctaw tribal members is likely to be approved with the inclusion of $385,000 in the Second Supplemental Appropriation Bill. The funds will be used to fulfill treaty obligations with the Choctaws as outlined in the Albert Act. The bill is expected to pass easily in the House, and once finalized, payments will be distributed to tribal members.
