FAQ QUESTIONS

Are tribes required to file form 940?

If a tribe elects to participate in the State Unemployment (SUTA) system they are not required to file Form 940, aka Employer's Annual Federal Unemployment (FUTA) Tax Return. However, the state unemployment compensation laws must cover (with some exceptions) tribal employee services.
‍
Tribes don’t need to file Form 940 if they meet the following conditions:
‍

You must be a Federally recognized tribe. Private businesses operating on tribal property do not qualify.
The tribe must have complete control over the entity that operates under it; otherwise, the entity would not be exempt from the FUTA tax.
The tribe must participate in the state unemployment system via one of these methods:

- Makes required payments to the state (tax contribution method)

- Reimburses the state for unemployment claims made by former employees
‍

Does a tribe organization have an employment taxes?

Tribal organizations are responsible for payment of the employer's share of FICA tax on wages paid to employees. They must also withhold the employee's share of FICA and federal income taxes.

‍

Are casino tips subject to tax withholding?

‍

What are some Tribal HR challenges?

Like regular HR departments, tribe's face the challenges of:
‍

Labor shortages
Employee Retention
Training and development
Budgeting and economic uncertainty
Maintaining compliance
Enforcing company culture
Offering competitive benefits and compensation packages

Tribal HR departments differ because they must manage federal and state employment laws while still upholding tribal ordinances and policies can be difficult. Tribal organizations also have the unique challenge of finding qualified workers who understand cultural values and beliefs.
‍

Do I need health insurance if I use IHS?

The Indian Health Service, IHS, is a part of the federal government that delivers health care to American Indians and Alaska Natives and provides funds for tribal and urban Indian health programs. The IHS receives funds from the U.S. Congress each year, so the budget can be limited to service the entire population. This means that funds are not always available to patients, and sometimes out-of-pocket costs are required.

The Indian Health Service is not an entitlement program like Medicare, Medicaid, insurance, or an established benefits package. There are two types of services provided by the IHS:

Direct health care services through an IHS facility
Through a purchased/referred care (PRC), which are provided by a non-IHS facility or provider through contracts with the IHS.

American Indians and Alaska Natives are eligible for all public, private, and state health programs available to the general population. Health insurance helps to combat health care costs, so the patient does not have to pay the full cost of health care services.

Employees find it beneficial to get health insurance from their employer for two reasons. The first reason is to be prepared for basic healthcare needs and unexpected health emergencies. Secondly, with the IHS, healthcare services offered are limited, and it can be hard to find a provider if you move outside the reservation. Health insurance gives you provider options.
