9th Cir: BIA’s Duty to Its Native American Employees
Jump to Comments
The 9th Circuit has held that neither the Indian Preference Act nor the federal government’s trust responsibilities toward tribes required the BIA to give actual notice of changes in the rules for calculating Civil Service retirement benefits of BIA employees. The court held that constructive notice via publication in the Federal Register suffices for Native American employees, as it does for other federal employees.
