Abstract: The Refugee Cash and Medical Assistance (CMA) program, implemented by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), 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 minors. The program also reimburses grantees for their administrative costs. Reimbursement is provided through both mandatory and discretionary grant awards. The purpose of the ORR-2 is to collect cost data from grantees for each component of the Program. The ORR-2 quarterly information collection fulfills both the financial reporting requirement of the SF-425 Federal Financial Report and the program component cost reporting requirement of 45 CFR Part 400.211.
