The TVPRA 2008 directs HHS upon
receipt of credible information that a non-U.S. citizen, non-lawful
permanent resident (alien) child may have been subjected to a
severe form of trafficking in persons and is seeking Federal
assistance available to victims of trafficking, to promptly
determine if the child is eligble for interim assistance. The law
further directs HSS to determine if the child is eligble for
assistance as a victim of a severe form of trafficking in persons
after consultation with the Attorney General, the Secretary of
Homeland Security, and nongovernmental organizations with expertise
on victims of severe form of trafficking. In developing procedures
for collecting the neccessary informaiton from potential child
victims of trafficking, their case managers, attorneys, or other
representatives to allow HHS to grant interim eligbility, HHS
devised a form. HHS has determined that the use of a standard form
to collect iformation is the best way to ensure requestors are
notified of their option to request assistance for child victims of
trafficking and to make prompt and consistent determinations about
the child's eligbility for interim assistance. Specifcially, the
form asks the requestor for his/her identifying information, for
information on the child, information describing the type of
trafficking and circumstances surrounding the situation, and the
strengths and needs of the child. The form also asks the requestor
to verify the information contained in the form becuase the
information could be the basis for a determination of an alien
child's eligibiltiy for federally funded benefits. Finally, the
form takes into consideration the need to compile information
regarding a child's circumstances and experiences in a
non-directive, child-friendly way, and assists the potential
requestor in assessing whether the child may have been subjected to
trafficking in persons.
Several small technical changes
in addition to the reduction in the number of respondents.
