Description:

Non-Indian widows of deceased beneficiaries of the Indian Health Program who were enrolled members of the Five Civilized Tribes can now receive medical services through the program on the same basis as other beneficiaries. This change in policy was announced by Congressman Carl Albert after he urged the Public Health Service to allow these widows to access hospital and medical care. The continuation of health services for non-Indian widows will be limited to those whose husbands were enrolled members of the Five Civilized Tribes and who have not remarried.
