To do this, the social services worker must ensure and document in the case plan that: (a) The charges are reasonable and equitable; (b) The deceased was an eligible indigent Indian who was socially, culturally, and economically affiliated with his or her tribe; and (c) The deceased resided in the service area for at least the last 6 consecutive months of his/her life.
