program within available resources.
ORR will continue to monitor funding
levels, arrival trends, and program
needs to ensure that the RCA and RMA
eligibility period remains appropriate
and sustainable.
ORR-eligible individuals whose
eligibility date is on or after January 1,
2026, will be eligible for up to 8 months
of RCA and RMA, provided they meet
all applicable eligibility requirements
under 45 CFR part 400 Subparts E and
G. For individuals who received fewer
than eight months of RCA or RMA
because the eligibility period was
previously limited to four months,
States or Replacement Designees (RDs)
may provide additional months of
assistance, up to the eight-month
maximum, if the individual remains
eligible for benefits at the time the
additional assistance is provided.
Alternatively, States and RDs may issue
retroactive payments for months within
the individual’s eight-month eligibility
period for which assistance was not
previously paid, provided the State or
RD determines that the individual met
all program eligibility requirements
during those unpaid months.
Nothing in this notice is intended to
allow payment for any month in which
an individual did not meet all eligibility
requirements in effect for RCA or RMA.
The revised 8-month eligibility period
for RCA and RMA is effective on the
date of publication of this Federal
Register notice. States should begin
implementing the expanded RCA and
RMA eligibility period as soon as
possible and will have up to 30 days to
complete any necessary system or
operational changes.

I. Background
On March 1, 2025, the President
signed Executive Order (‘‘E.O.’’) 14224,
Designating English as the Official
Language of the United States. See 90
FR 11363 (Mar. 1, 2025). Among other
things, E.O. 14224 revoked E.O. 13166,
Improving Access to Services for
Persons with Limited English
Proficiency. See 65 FR 50121 (Aug. 16,
2000); E.O. 14224 (§ 3(b)). E.O. 14224
also directed the Attorney General to
‘‘rescind any policy guidance
documents issued pursuant to Executive
Order 13166 and provide updated
guidance, consistent with applicable
law.’’ E.O. 14224, § 3(c).
On July 14, 2025, the Attorney
General issued a memorandum
providing guidance to federal agencies
on appropriate actions to implement
E.O. 14224 (‘‘Attorney General
Memo’’).1 The Attorney General Memo
encouraged all federal agencies to
review prior guidance based on E.O.
13166 and rescind such guidance if it
conflicts with E.O. 14224 and is not
mandated by law or the Constitution.
E.O. 13166 directed ‘‘[e]ach agency
providing Federal financial assistance
shall draft title VI guidance specifically
tailored to its recipients that is
consistent with the LEP Guidance
issued by the Department of Justice,’’
which were then to be published in the
Federal Register for public comment.
E.O. 13166 (§ 3). Title VI of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. 2000d
(Title VI), prohibits discrimination
against or otherwise excluding
individuals from programs or activities
on the basis of race, color, or national
origin, if those programs or activities
receive federal financial assistance. The
Department issued its own agency1 Memorandum for All Federal Agencies from the

AGENCY: Office for Civil Rights and Civil

Liberties, Department of Homeland
Security.
SUMMARY: This notice announces the
Department of Homeland Security’s

(‘‘DHS’’) rescission of its guidance to
Federal financial assistance recipients
regarding the Title VI prohibition
against national origin discrimination
affecting limited English proficient
persons, consistent with Executive
Order 14224, Designating English as the
Official Language of the United States.
DATES: Applicable July 14, 2026.

for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, U.S.

Financial Assistance Recipients
Regarding Title VI Prohibition Against
National Origin Discrimination
Affecting Limited English Proficient
Persons, 76 FR 21755 (Apr. 18, 2011).
B. Rescission of DHS 2011 Guidance
Consistent with E.O. 14224, and the
July 14, 2025 Attorney General Memo,
the Department is rescinding its 2011
Guidance.
C. Continuing Obligation
All recipients of DHS financial
assistance have a continuing obligation
to comply with Title VI, all applicable
Title VI regulations, all applicable
federal civil rights laws and
nondiscrimination provisions.
Recipients of federal financial assistance
also have a continuing obligation under
the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 to ensure
that their communications with
individuals with disabilities are as
effective as communications with others
and may need to provide qualified sign
language interpreters for individuals
who are deaf. Recipients of federal
financial assistance, including
subrecipients, are reminded that
language assistance services may be
required under certain circumstances.
DHS anticipates issuing updated
language access guidance, consistent
with law, as required by E.O. 14224, the
July 14, 2025 Attorney General Memo,
and future Department of Justice
guidance.
