    None of the funds distributed per capita under the provisions of 
this subchapter shall be subject to Federal or State income taxes, and 
the per capita payments shall not be considered as income or resources 
when determining the extent of eligibility for assistance under the 
Social Security Act [42 U.S.C. 301 et seq.]. The provision of this 
section regarding eligibility for assistance under the Social Security 
Act is enacted in recognition of unique circumstances applicable to the

general policy for application to other tribes.
