Abstract: Pursuant to Exhibit 1, part A.2 of the Flores Settlement Agreement (Jenny Lisette Flores, et al., v. Janet Reno, Attorney General of the United States, et al., Case No. CV 85-4544-RJK (C.D. Cal. 1996), the Administration for Children and Families’ Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), on behalf of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), is directed to provide unaccompanied children in their custody with medical, mental, and dental care until reunification with a qualified sponsor. Licensed care provider facilities, on behalf of ORR, are required to ensure that all children receive a complete medical examination within 48 business hours of admission including screening for infectious diseases and immunizations recommended by the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS), the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Additional required services include routine medical and dental care, family planning services, and emergency healthcare. ORR requires care provider facilities to maintain records on each child to ensure that health-related evaluations, diagnosed illnesses/conditions, immunizations, and treatments are documented, monitored, and included in the child’s discharge packet at the time of reunification. ORR requires the Medical Complaint and Contact Investigation (Active/Suspect TB and Non-TB Illness) information collections to implement and maintain compliance with the Flores Settlement Agreement.

Emergency Justfication: In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the Office of Refugee Resettlement has added fields to the Medical Complaint form. To allow for immediate use, we request emergency approval for six months and will submit a full request to continue collection beyond six months. The specific changes include the addition two fields: the COVID-19 diagnosis and public health interventions.
