Request for Approval under the “Generic Clearance for the Collection of Mandatory Grant Financial Reports” (OMB Control Number: 0970-0510) Expiration date 6/30/2024

TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION: Refugee Cash and Medical Assistance Federal Financial Report (ORR-2) Supplemental Data Collection

PURPOSE: The Refugee Cash and Medical Assistance (CMA) program, implemented by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), DHHS, is a reimbursement program for costs incurred by States and non-profit organizations in providing assistance to refugees, asylees, Cuban/Haitian entrants, Amerasians, Afghans and Iraqis with Special Immigrant Visas, and victims of trafficking. The program reimburses States and non-profit organizations for the costs they incur in providing four types of assistance: cash assistance, medical assistance, medical screening, and services for unaccompanied refugee minors. The purpose of the ORR-2 is to collect cost data from grantees for each component of the Program.

Due to one-time appropriations from Congress in response to Operation Allies Welcome and Uniting for Ukraine, ORR is funding the CMA program from multiple funding sources, which grantees report against. Sources includes annual appropriations to support traditional ORR-eligible populations, as well as emergency funding to support Afghan and Ukrainian humanitarian parolees; each source has unique service eligibility. CMA grantees receive quarterly allocations, which include funding from each of these distinct funding sources under the CMA grant. Currently expenditures for the CMA grant are reported on the ORR-2 by program categories such as refugee cash assistance and refugee medical assistance (OMB #: 0970-0407). The ORR-2 program cost categories alone do not enable analysis of specific financial accounts or by unique or special funding sources. Therefore, this requested action is for grantees to break out unobligated balances reported on the final ORR-2 financial report by funding source (base, ASA, Ukraine) and financial account number as referenced on the Notice of Award as a Word or Excel file attachment to upload (with the ORR-2 report) in OLDC via the designated link. ORR has developed detailed instructions to request this supplemental information (see Attachment 1).
