SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: ACF/ORR requests information from the ORR-6 Performance Report to determine effectiveness of state Cash and Medical Assistance (CMA) and Refugee Support Services programs. ORR uses state-by-state CMA utilization rates, derived from the ORR-6 Performance Report, to formulate program initiatives, priorities, standards, budget requests, and assistance policies. Federal regulations require state Refugee Resettlement, Replacement Designee agencies, and local governments submit statistical or programmatic information that the ORR Director determines to be required to fulfill their responsibility under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The currently approved ORR-6 has been updated to add new data elements to better understand the meaning of existing data collection, and update the instructions and reformat some of the forms to provide clearer definitions and better distinguish the participation and performance results of different support services programs. In addition, some revisions are related to Afghanistan Supplemental Appropriations Act 2022, Additional Afghanistan Supplemental Appropriations Act 2022, and Additional Ukraine Supplemental Appropriations Act 2022
Respondents: State governments and Replacement Designees.
