We report a measurement of the inclusive semileptonic B_s^0 branching fraction in a 121 fb^{-1} data sample collected near the Upsilon(5S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e^+ e^- collider. Events containing B_s^0 pairs are selected by reconstructing a tag side D_s^+ and identifying a signal side lepton l^+ (l = e, mu) that is required to have the same-sign charge to ensure that both originate from different B_s^0 mesons. The B_s^0 -> X^- l^+ nu branching fraction is extracted from the ratio of the measured yields of D_s^+ mesons and D_s^+ l^+ pairs and the known production and branching fractions. The inclusive semileptonic branching fraction is measured to be [10.6 +/- 0.5(stat) +/- 0.4(syst) +/- 0.6(ext)] %.
