        <RULE_TITLE>Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations:  Resource Limits and Exclusions, Extended Certification Periods, and Transitional Benefits</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This proposed rule would amend FDPIR regulations by: 1) Bringing the maximum level of allowable resources in line with the Food Stamp Program by: a) Establishing a new resource limit of $3,000 for households with a disabled member and b) increasing the resource limit from $1,750 to $2,000 for households without elderly or disabled members; 2) allowing a resource exclusion for the first $1,500 of the value of one prepaid funeral arrangement per household member; and 3) allowing households in which all members are elderly or disabled to be certified for up to 24 months.  The above provisions are modeled after Food Stamp Program provisions. (01-005)]]></ABSTRACT>
