ORR-6 PERFORMANCE REPORT INSTRUCTIONS


General Overview


The Immigration and Nationality Actsection 412(b) (specifically, 8 U.S.C. § 1522(b)(7)(A)) authorizes the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) to require that states and Replacement Designees submit performance reports for refugee assistance and services provided to eligible populations. In addition, 45 CFR § 400.28 states “ A state must submit statistical or programmatic information that the Director determines to be required to fulfill his or her responsibility under the Act on refugees who receive assistance and services which are provided….”. In an effort to streamline reporting mechanisms across ORR self-sufficiency programs, the ORR-6 Performance Report (PR) provides states/grantees an instrument that captures participation and performance statistics.


The ORR-6 has two main components: general Performance Report (PR) schedules that are tracked either semi-annually or annually and an Annual Service Plan (ASP) which is a separate component of the ORR-6 and only collected on an annual basis.


The ORR-6 Performance Report should be submitted for the following refugee benefits and assistance programs: Refugee Cash Assistance (RCA), Refugee Medical Assistance (RMA) and Medical Screening, Unaccompanied Refugee Minors (URM), and Refugee Support Services (RSS) including set-asides: Refugee School Impact (RSI) Services to Older Refugees (SOR), Youth Mentoring (YM), and Refugee Health Promotion (RHP), as well as RSS and RSS set-aside programming funded by the Afghanistan Supplemental Appropriations (ASA) Act, 2022 and the Additional Afghanistan Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2022 (hereinafter “ASA”). The ORR-6 may be used to report on future priorities as identified by the Director.


Schedules A (Narrative), B (RCA), C (Employability), D (RSS Set-Asides) and E (URM) are semi-annual reports, while Schedule F (RMA and Medical Screening) is an annual report.


The due dates for semi-annual reports (Schedules A-E) are May 31th for the reporting period October 1 – March 31 and November 30th for the reporting period April 1 – September 30.


The due date for the Annual Service Plan is November 30th for the reporting period October 1 – September 30.


The due date for Schedule F annual report is January 31st for the reporting period October 1 – September 30.


The ORR-6 Performance Report is intended to solicit participation and performance data and does not request program expenditures for the reporting period. ORR uses data gathered from the ORR-6 Performance Report to determine RCA and RMA use. State-by-State RCA, RMA and Medical Screening utilization rates derived from the ORR-6 are calculated for use in formulating program initiatives, priorities, standards, budget requests, and assistance policies. Medical Screening data is also used to monitor the performance of medical screening coordination, services, and health outcomes.


ORR populations eligible1 for refugee benefits and services includes refugees, Cuban and Haitian entrants, asylees, certain Amerasians from Vietnam who are admitted to the U.S as immigrants, certain Amerasians from Vietnam who are U.S. citizens, Iraqi and Afghan Special Immigrant Visa holders, Afghan SI/SQ Parolees, Afghan Special Immigrant Conditional Permanent Residents, Afghan Humanitarian Parolees, and victims of a severe form of human trafficking who have received certification or eligibility letters from HHS. Hereafter the term “refugee” is used to encompass all eligible persons participating in ORR refugee program services. Eligibility for the Unaccompanied Refugee Minors (URM) program includes refugees, as defined here, U status recipients, and certain Special Immigrant Juveniles who were in ORR’s Unaccompanied Alien Children’s (UAC) program or were receiving services as Cuban or Haitian entrants when they became dependent on a juvenile or family court.

ORR-6 Schedule C: Employability Services Back to top page

Performance Report Instructions


Schedule C is used to report outcomes from employability services (45 CFR § 400.154) funded by ORR to eligible populations. This report includes employment services outcomes from the RSS grant and ASA RSS funding. The employment services outcomes reported on this form are those directly related to job placements (e.g. direct services provided in accordance with employability plans to enable an individual to obtain employment). Entered Employment is defined as the entry of an active employment services participant into unsubsidized employment for at least one day during the period. States/grantees should report only on entered employment during the reporting period in this item for each active employment services participant. Include in this item those active participants who were placed directly by a service provider through a documented referral, those who obtained employment on their own, and those who entered unsubsidized employment as a result of On-the-Job Training (OJT). An individual participating in OJT may not be counted in “entered employment” until the period of subsidized employment is completed and the employer has agreed to retain the individual in an unsubsidized permanent position. Unsubsidized job placements that occur while an active participant is enrolled in English Language Instruction (ELI) or when an active participant completes Vocational Training (VT) are counted as entered employments in the reporting period in which they occur.


Note: At the time an active employment services participant is placed in employment, verification of the individual's cash assistance status is required. The state/grantee may count only one placement per reporting period for any client, but the state/grantee may enter another placement for the client in a subsequent period.

Participants should be reported by the cash assistance status at the end of reporting period.

  • RCA clients- include the number of employment service participants receiving RCA assistance.

  • TANF clients-include the number of employment service participants receiving TANF assistance.

  • No federal cash assistance is used to distinguish refugees who enter employment before receipt of cash assistance, such as refugees in their first month after arrival and others who are no longer eligible for assistance such as working clients who receive a job upgrade, clients who follow their spouses into the workforce after benefits are terminated, and clients who do not find work until after termination of assistance. For example, a refugee who finds full-time employment in the first month would be reported in item B.1. c. 0-12 months, etc.

Item

Data Element

Instructions

B. 1. a. -1. c.

Total Number

Enter total unduplicated number of employment services participants for each B. a., B. b., and B. c. The sum of B. a. through B. c. should total in line B. d. representing total employment services caseload at the time of this report. The caseload consists of active employment services participants as defined in 45 CFR § 400.154 (a) ONLY. An active participant is defined as a person with whom the provider has direct, regular contact for the purpose of providing these employment services: development of a family self-sufficiency plan and an individual employability plan, world-of-work and job orientation, job clubs, job workshops, job development, referral to job opportunities, job search, and job placement and follow up. For example, according to 45 CFR § 400.75 (a) 1. an RCA client, unless exempt from employment services as detailed in the State Plan, is required to enroll in employment services [as defined in 45 CFR § 400.154 (a)], and, therefore, should be included in the total caseload. Information on Matching Grant Program clients should not be reported in the total employment caseload count (B.1.).

  1. 2.

Full-Time Employment

Enter the number of full-time job placements during the reporting period by cash assistance status (RCA, TANF, and No Federal Cash Assistance) at the time of job placement. Full-time is defined as 35 hours or more per week.

B. 4.

Grant Terminations

Enter the number of grant terminations achieved through entered employments by cash assistance status (RCA, TANF). A grant termination is defined as the closing of a cash assistance case due to earned income from employment in an amount that exceeds the state's eligibility standard for the case based on family size, rendering the case over-income for cash assistance. If the net earned income exceeds the eligibility standard, the case should be considered a grant termination. The grant termination caseload should be out of the full-time and part-time employment caseload.

B. e

(2. - 3.)

Average Hourly Wage at Employment Entry

Enter the average hourly wage at the time employment begins for all full-time and part-time individuals entering employment in the reporting period.

To calculate this wage, add the hourly wage for all individuals placed in full-time, unsubsidized employment as reported in the Total for Item B.2., and divide the sum by the total number of individuals who entered full-time employment as reported in Item B.2. Use the same methodology to calculate average hourly part-time wages using the data reported in the Total for Item B.3. (Part-time). Note: If the refugee is placed in multiple jobs during the reporting period, you may use the highest wage earned. Hourly wages may be converted from monthly wages or from piece rates or a combination of both. If piece rates are used, determine the expected number of items to be produced in an hour and multiply it by the piece rate quoted by the employer at the time of placement.

  1. f. 2.

Health Benefits Available

Enter the number of refugees entering full-time employment where health benefits are offered. This item captures data on the availability of health benefits for those individuals who entered full-time employment. This is not a measure of how many individuals elect to enroll in health benefits, but rather how many jobs offer this option, either at placement or within 6 months of placement. Benefits should be considered available if self-only coverage is available to the employee even if coverage is not extended to the employee's family members. Benefits are considered available without regard to whether the employee must contribute to the premium. Note: If the refugee is placed in multiple jobs during the reporting period, you may count any employment opportunity that offered health benefits.

B. g.

(2. - 3.)

Employed 90 Days Later

Enter the number of individuals by category of employment (full- or part-time), who were employed on the 90th day after entering employment. This item is a measure of continued participation in the labor market, not retention of a specific job. "Employed 90 Days Later" means that an individual is working for wages on the 90th day after having entered employment at any unsubsidized job. Where there have been multiple placements with the same individual within the same reporting period, the date of the first employment entry is the start date for calculating the 90-day follow-up. An individual who is on strike on the 90th day is considered employed. An individual who has been laid off and does not anticipate returning to the same employer within 30 days is considered unemployed.


C: Trends

Analyze and reflect on the data reported in sections A-B. Report overall observations in data trends and explain any anomalies in data.
