During council comments, a councilmember announced that the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma will provide a $150 payment to Choctaw CDIB (Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood) holders in response to a government shutdown. The councilmember said recipients with SNAP cards may seek assistance at the Choctaw Community Center, where staff can help with online applications.

The speaker noted other sovereign nations, including the Chickasaw Nation and Cherokee Nation, were taking similar steps but did not provide exact benefit amounts for those tribes. The councilmember urged eligible residents to contact the Choctaw Community Center for details and assistance with the application process.

No formal city action was recorded on this announcement; the item appeared as an informational council comment.
