requests by the title of the information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: ORR reimburses, to the extent of available
appropriations, certain non-federal costs for the provision of cash and
medical assistance (CMA) to refugees, along with allowable expenses for
the administration of the refugee resettlement program at the state
level. States and Replacement Designees currently submit the ORR-2
Quarterly Report on Expenditures and Obligations, which provides
aggregate expenditure and obligation data. The ORR-2 collects
expenditures and obligations data separately for each of the four
following CMA program components: refugee cash assistance, refugee
medical assistance, CMA administration, and services for unaccompanied
minors. This breakdown of financial status data allows ORR to track
program expenditures in greater detail to anticipate any funding issues
and to meet the requirements of ORR regulations at CFR 400.211 to
collect these data for use in estimating future costs of the refugee
resettlement program. ORR must implement the methodology at CFR 400.211
each year after receipt of its annual appropriation to ensure that
appropriated funds will be adequate for reimbursement to states of the
costs for assistance provided to entering refugees. The estimating
methodology prescribed in the regulations requires the use of actual
past costs by program component. If the methodology indicates that
appropriated funds are inadequate, ORR must take steps to reduce
federal expenses, such as by limiting the number of months of
eligibility for Refugee Cash Assistance and Refugee Medical Assistance.
The ORR-2 is a single-page financial report that allows ORR to collect
the necessary data to ensure that funds are adequate for the projected
need and thereby meet the requirements of both the Refugee Act and ORR
regulations.
Respondents: State governments and Replacement Designees.
