Sec.  1326.9  Contributions.

    (a) Each tribal organization shall:

her contribution;
    (3) Establish appropriate procedures to safeguard and account for 
all contributions;
    (4) Use all services contributions to expand comprehensive and 
coordinated services systems supported under this part, while using 
nutrition services contributions only to expand services as provided 
under section 307(a)(13)(c)(ii) of the Act.
    (b) Each tribal organization may develop a suggested contribution 
schedule for services provided under this part. In developing a 
contribution schedule, the tribal organization shall consider the income 
ranges of older Indians in the service area and the tribal 
organization's other sources of income. However, means tests may not be 
used.
    (c) A tribal organization that receives funds under this part may 
not deny any older Indian a service because the older Indian will not or 
cannot contribute to the cost of the service.
