Refugee Resettlement Program: Proposed Allocations to States of
FY 1995 Funds for Refugee Social Services and for Refugees Who Are
Former Political Prisoners From Vietnam
AGENCY: Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), ACF, HHS.
ACTION: Notice of proposed allocations to States of FY 1995 funds for
refugee\1\ [[Page 12776]] social services and for refugees who are
former political prisoners from Vietnam.
\1\In addition to persons who meet all requirements of 45 CFR
400.43, ``Requirements for documentation of refugee status,''
eligibility for refugee social services also includes: (1) Cuban and
Haitian entrants, under section 501 of the Refugee Education
Assistance Act of 1980 (Pub. L. No. 96-422); (2) certain Amerasians
from Vietnam who are admitted to the U.S. as immigrants under
section 584 of the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related
Programs Appropriations Act, 1988, as included in the FY 1988
Continuing Resolution (Pub. L. No. 100-202); and (3) certain
Amerasians from Vietnam, including U.S. citizens, under title II of
the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs
Appropriations Acts, 1989 (Pub. L. No. 100-461), 1990 (Pub. L. No.
101-167), and 1991 (Pub. L. No. 101-513). For convenience, the term
``refugee'' is used in this notice to encompass all such eligible
persons unless the specific context indicates otherwise.
Refugees admitted to the U.S. under admissions numbers set aside
for private-sector-initiative admissions are not eligible to be
served under the social service program (or under other programs
supported by Federal refugee funds) during their period of coverage
under their sponsoring agency's agreement with the Department of
State--usually two years from their date of arrival or until they
obtain permanent resident alien status, whichever comes first.

SUMMARY: This notice announces the proposed allocations to States of FY
1995 funds for social services under the Refugee Resettlement Program
(RRP). In order to help meet the special needs of former political
prisoners from Vietnam, the Director has added to the formula
allocation $2,000,000 in funds previously set aside for social services
discretionary projects. In the final notice, allocation amounts could
be adjusted slightly based on final adjustments in FY 1994 arrivals in
some States.
EFFECTIVE DATES: Comments on the proposed allocations contained in this
notice must be received by April 7, 1995.
ADDRESSES: Address written comments, in duplicate, to: Toyo A. Biddle,
Office of Refugee Resettlement, Administration for Children and
Families, 370 L'Enfant Promenade, SW., Washington, DC 20447.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Toyo Biddle (202) 401-9250.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Amounts Proposed for Allocation
The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) has available $80,802,000
in FY 1995 refugee social service funds as part of the FY 1995
appropriation for the Department of Health and Human Services (Pub. L.
No. 103-333).
Of the total of $80,802,000, the Director of ORR proposes to make
available to States $68,681,700 (85%) under the allocation formula set
out in this notice. These funds would be made available for the purpose
of providing social services to refugees. In addition, the Director of
ORR proposes to make available $2,000,000 from discretionary social
service funds to be allocated under the formula in this notice for
additional services to former political prisoners from Vietnam.
Although we had indicated in the FY 1994 social service allocations
notice that FY 1994 would be the last year in which a special set-aside
would be allocated for additional services for former political
prisoners from Vietnam, we propose to continue this special set-aside
in FY 1995 due to continued arrivals of this population in FY 1995.
A. Discretionary Social Service Funds for Vietnamese Political
Prisoners
In recognition of the special vulnerability of refugees who are
former political prisoners from Vietnam, the Director of ORR proposes
to set aside $2,000,000 from discretionary social service funds to be
allocated under the formula set forth in this announcement, based on
the number of actual political prisoner arrivals in FY 1994. This
formula allocation is shown separately in Table 1 (cols. 7 and 8).
States are required to use this allocation to provide additional
services, as described below, to recent arrivals from Vietnam who are
former political prisoners and members of their families.
Allowable services for the above-cited funds for political
prisoners include the following direct services: (1) Specialized
orientation and adjustment services, including peer support activities;
and (2) specialized employment-related services, as needed. Adjustment
services include any service listed under 45 CFR 400.155(c) of the ORR
regulations. Under no circumstances may these funds be used for direct
cash payments or stipends, for the purchase of advertising space or air
time, or for services covered under the Department of State Reception
and Placement Cooperative Agreements.
Allowable services under this allocation for Vietnamese political
prisoners are intended to supplement, not to supplant, those services
provided to refugees in general under the social service formula
allocation, discussed below.
ORR intends to provide technical assistance to States and
organizations that request it to assure effective program development
and implementation.
Because these funds are proposed to provide specifically for
services for former political prisoners from Vietnam, States which
allocate social service funds to other local administrative
jurisdictions, such as counties, shall do so for these funds, using a
formula which reflects arrivals of this target population during FY
1994.
ORR strongly encourages States and other contracting jurisdictions,
in selecting service providers for the above, to award these funds, to
the extent possible, to qualified refugee mutual assistance
associations (MAAs) with experience serving the target population. All
contractors receiving these funds should have Vietnamese language
capacity and Vietnamese cultural understanding.
States are required to provide to ORR program performance
information on the Vietnamese political prisoner program that meets the
reporting requirements contained in 45 CFR 92.40, under the terms and
conditions of the social services grant awards to States. The
information to be contained in the narrative portion of State quarterly
performance reports must include: (1) Names of service contractors; (2)
categories of activities provided; (3) numbers of persons served; and
(4) outcomes, to the extent possible.
B. Refugee Social Service Funds
The population figures for the social service allocation include
refugees, Cuban/Haitian entrants, and Amerasians from Vietnam since
these populations may be served through funds addressed in this notice.
(A State must, however, have an approved State plan for the Cuban/
Haitian Entrant Program in order to use funds on behalf of entrants as
well as refugees.)
The Director proposes to allocate $68,681,700 to States on the
basis of each State's proportion of the national population of refugees
who had been in the U.S. 3 years or less as of October 1, 1994
(including a floor amount for States which have small refugee
populations).
The use of the 3-year population base in the allocation formula is
required by section 412(c)(1)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act
(INA) which states that the ``funds available for a fiscal year for
grants and contracts [for social services] * * * shall be allocated
among the States based on the total number of refugees (including
children and adults) who arrived in the United States not more than 36
months before the beginning of such fiscal year and who are actually
residing in each State (taking into account secondary migration) as of
the beginning of the fiscal year.''
As established in the FY 1991 social services notice published in
the Federal Register of August 29, 1991, section I, ``Allocation
Amounts'' (56 FR 42745), a variable floor amount for States which
[[Page 12777]] have small refugee populations is calculated as follows:
If the application of the regular allocation formula yields less than
$100,000, then--
(1) a base amount of $75,000 is provided for a State with a
population of 50 or fewer refugees who have been in the U.S. 3 years or
less; and
(2) for a State with more than 50 refugees who have been in the
U.S. 3 years or less: (a) A floor has been calculated consisting of
$50,000 plus the regular per capita allocation for refugees above 50 up
to a total of $100,000 (in other words, the maximum under the floor
formula is $100,000); (b) if this calculation has yielded less than
$75,000, a base amount of $75,000 is provided for the State.
ORR has consistently supported floors for small States in order to
provide sufficient funds to carry out a minimum service program. Given
the range in numbers of refugees in the small States, we have concluded
that a variable floor, as established in the FY 1991 notice, will be
more reflective of needs than previous across-the-board floors.
The $12,120,300 in remaining social service funds (15% of the total
funds available) is expected to be used by ORR on a discretionary basis
to provide funds for individual projects intended to contribute to the
effectiveness and efficiency of the refugee resettlement program. Grant
announcements on discretionary initiatives will be issued separately.
Population To Be Served
Although the allocation formula is based on the 3-year refugee
population, in accordance with the requirements of 45 CFR Part 400
Subpart I--Refugee Social Services, States are not required to limit
social service programs to refugees who have been in the U.S. only 3
years. In keeping with 45 CFR 400.147(a), a State must allocate an
appropriate portion of its social service funds, based on population
and service needs, as determined by the State, for services to newly
arriving refugees who have been in the U.S. less than one year.
While 45 CFR 400.147(b) requires that in providing employability
services, a State must give priority to a refugee who is receiving cash
assistance, social service programs should not be limited exclusively
to refugees who are cash assistance recipients. If a State intends to
provide services to refugees who have been in the U.S. more than 3
years, 45 CFR 400.147(c) requires the State to specify and justify as
part of its Annual Services Plan those funds that it proposes to use to
provide services to those refugees.
ORR expects States to ensure that refugee social services are made
available to special populations such as Amerasians and former
political prisoners from Vietnam, in addition to special funding that
ORR may designate to address the special needs of these populations.
ORR funds may not be used to provide services to United States
citizens, since they are not covered under the authorizing legislation,
with the following exceptions: (1) Under current regulations at 45 CFR
400.208, services may be provided to a U.S.-born minor child in a
family in which both parents are refugees or, if only one parent is
present, in which that parent is a refugee; and (2) under the FY 1989
Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs
Appropriations Act (Pub. L. No. 100-461), services may be provided to
an Amerasian from Vietnam who is a U.S. citizen and who enters the U.S.
after October 1, 1988.
Service Priorities
Refugee social service funding should be used to assist refugee
families to achieve economic independence. To this end, ORR expects
States to ensure that a coherent plan of services is developed for each
eligible family that addresses the family's needs from time of arrival
until attainment of economic independence. Each service plan should
address a family's needs for both employment-related services and other
needed social services.
Reflecting section 412(a)(1)(A)(iv) of the INA, the Director
expects States to ``insure that women have the same opportunities as
men to participate in training and instruction.'' In addition, States
are expected to make sure that services are provided in a manner that
encourages the use of bilingual women on service agency staffs to
ensure adequate service access by refugee women. In order to facilitate
refugee self-support, the Director also expects States to implement
strategies which address simultaneously the employment potential of
both male and female wage earners in a family unit, particularly in the
case of large families. States are expected to make every effort to
assure the availability of day care services in order to allow women
with children the opportunity to participate in employment services or
to accept or retain employment. To accomplish this, day care may be
treated as a priority employment-related service under the refugee
social services program. Refugees who are participating in employment
services or have accepted employment are eligible for day care
services. For an employed refugee, day care funded by refugee social
service dollars must be limited to one year after the refugee becomes
employed. States are expected to use day care funding from other
publicly funded mainstream programs as a prior resource and are
expected to work with service providers to assure maximum access to
other publicly funded resources for day care.
In accordance with 45 CFR 400.146, if a State's cash assistance
dependency rate for refugees (as defined in Sec. 400.146(b)) is 55% or
more, funds awarded under this notice (with the exception of the
political prisoner set-aside) are subject to a requirement that at
least 85% of the State's award be used for employability services as
set forth in section 400.154. ORR expects these funds to be used for
services which directly enhance refugee employment potential, have
specific employment objectives, and are designed to enable refugees to
obtain jobs in less than one year as part of a plan to achieve self-
sufficiency. This reflects the Congressional objective that
``employable refugees should be placed on jobs as soon as possible
after their arrival in the United States'' and that social service
funds be focused on ``employment-related services, English-as-a-second-
language training (in non-work hours where possible), and case-
management services'' (INA, section 412(a)(1)(B)). If refugee social
service funds are used for the provision of English language training,
such training should be provided concurrently, rather than
sequentially, with employment or with other employment-related
services, to the maximum extent possible. ORR also encourages the
continued provision of services after a refugee has entered a job to
help the refugee retain employment or move to a better job.
Since current welfare dependency data are not available, those
States that historically have had dependency rates at 55% and above are
invited to submit a request for a waiver of the 85% requirement if they
can provide reliable documentation that demonstrates a lower dependency
rate.
ORR will consider granting a waiver of the 85% provision if a State
meets one of the following conditions:
1. The State demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Director of
ORR that the dependency rate of refugees who have been in the U.S. 24
months or less is below 55% in the State.
2. The State demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Director that
(a) less than 85% of the State's social service allocation is
sufficient to meet all employment-related needs of the State's refugees
and (b) there are non-employment-related service needs
[[Page 12778]] which are so extreme as to justify an allowance above
the basic 15%. Or
3. In accordance with section 412(c)(1)(C) of the INA, the State
submits to the Director a plan (established by or in consultation with
local governments) which the Director determines provides for the
maximum appropriate provision of employment-related services for, and
the maximum placement of, employable refugees consistent with
performance standards established under section 106 of the Job Training
Partnership Act.
Refugee social services should be provided in a manner that is
culturally and linguistically compatible with a refugee's language and
cultural background. In light of the increasingly diverse population of
refugees who are resettling in this country, refugee service agencies
will need to develop practical ways of providing culturally and
linguistically appropriate services to a changing ethnic population.
Refugee-specific social services should be provided which are
specifically designed to meet refugee needs and are in keeping with the
rules and objectives of the refugee program, particularly during a
refugee's initial years of resettlement. When planning State refugee
services, States are strongly encouraged to take into account the
reception and placement (R & P) services provided by local resettlement
agencies in order to utilize these resources in the overall program
design and to ensure the provision of seamless services to refugees.
In order to provide culturally and linguistically compatible
services in as cost-efficient a manner as possible in a time of limited
resources, ORR encourages States and counties to promote and give
special consideration to the provision of refugee social services
through coalitions of refugee service organizations, such as coalitions
of MAAs, voluntary resettlement agencies, or a variety of service
providers. ORR believes it is essential for refugee-serving
organizations to form close partnerships in the provision of services
to refugees in order to be able to respond adequately to a changing
refugee picture. Coalition-building and consolidation of providers is
particularly important in communities with multiple service providers
in order to ensure better coordination of services and maximum use of
funding for services by minimizing the funds used for multiple
administrative overhead costs.
States should also expect to use funds available under this notice
to pay for social services which are provided to refugees who
participate in alternative projects. Section 412(e)(7)(A) of the INA
provides that:
The Secretary [of HHS] shall develop and implement alternative
projects for refugees who have been in the United States less than
thirty-six months, under which refugees are provided interim support,
medical services, support [social] services, and case management, as
needed, in a manner that encourages self-sufficiency, reduces welfare
dependency, and fosters greater coordination among the resettlement
agencies and service providers.
This provision is generally known as the Wilson/Fish Amendment. The
Department has already issued a separate notice in the Federal Register
with respect to applications for such projects (50 FR 24583, June 11,
1985). The notice on alternative projects does not contain provisions
for the allocation of additional social service funds beyond the
amounts established in this notice. Therefore a State which may wish to
consider carrying out such a project should take note of this in
planning its use of social service funds being allocated under the
present notice.
Funding to MAAs
ORR no longer provides set-aside funds to refugee mutual assistance
associations as a separate component under the social service notice;
instead we have folded these funds into the social service formula
allocation to States. Elimination of the MAA set-aside, however, does
not represent any reduction in ORR's commitment to MAAs as important
participants in refugee resettlement. ORR believes that the continued
and/or increased utilization of qualified refugee mutual assistance
associations in the delivery of social services helps to ensure the
provision of culturally and linguistically appropriate services as well
as increasing the effectiveness of the overall service system.
Therefore, ORR expects States to use MAAs as service providers to the
maximum extent possible. ORR strongly encourages States when
contracting for services, including employment services, to give
consideration to the special strengths of MAAs, whenever contract
bidders are otherwise equally qualified, provided that the MAA has the
capability to deliver services in a manner that is culturally and
linguistically compatible with the background of the target population
to be served. ORR also expects States to continue to assist MAAs in
seeking other public and/or private funds for the provision of services
to refugee clients.
ORR defines MAAs as organizations with the following
qualifications:
a. The organization is legally incorporated as a nonprofit
organization; and
b. Not less than 51% of the composition of the Board of Directors
or governing board of the mutual assistance association is comprised of
refugees or former refugees, including both refugee men and women.
State Administration
States are reminded that under current regulations at 45 CFR
400.206 and 400.207, States have the flexibility to charge the
following types of administrative costs against their refugee program
social service grants, if they so choose: direct and indirect
administrative costs incurred for the overall management and operation
of the State refugee program, including its coordination, planning,
policy and program development, oversight and monitoring, data
collection and reporting, and travel. See also State Transmittal No.
88-40.
II. [Reserved for Discussion of Comments in Final Notice]
III. Allocation Formula
Of the funds available for FY 1995 for social services, $68,681,700
is proposed to be allocated to States in accordance with the formula
specified below. A State's allowable allocation is calculated as
follows:
1. The total amount of funds determined by the Director to be
available for this purpose; divided by--
2. The total number of refugees and Cuban/Haitian entrants who
arrived in the United States not more than 3 years prior to the
beginning of the fiscal year for which the funds are appropriated and
the number of Amerasians from Vietnam eligible for refugee social
services, as shown by the ORR Refugee Data System. The resulting per
capita amount will be multiplied by--
3. The number of persons in item 2, above, in the State as of
October 1, 1994, adjusted for estimated secondary migration.
The calculation above yields the formula allocation for each State.
Minimum allocations for small States are taken into account.
Proposed allocations for political prisoners are based on FY 1994
arrival numbers for this group in each State from the Refugee Data
Center and are limited to States with 320 or more political prisoner
arrivals. We have limited the population base to FY 1994 political
prisoner arrival numbers because these funds are intended to
[[Page 12779]] serve recent arrivals. We have not included States with
fewer than 320 former political prisoners in the political prisoner
allocations formula because the resulting level of funding would be
insignificant. In these States, we believe the small number of
political prisoners could be adequately served under the State's
refugee social services program.
IV. Basis of Population Estimates
The population estimates for the proposed allocation of funds in FY
1995 are based on data on refugee arrivals from the ORR Refugee Data
System, adjusted as of October 1, 1994, for estimated secondary
migration. The data base includes refugees of all nationalities,
Amerasians from Vietnam, and Cuban and Haitian entrants.
For fiscal year 1995, ORR's proposed formula allocations for the
States for social services are based on the numbers of refugees and
Amerasians who arrived, and on the numbers of entrants who arrived or
were resettled, during the preceding three fiscal years: 1992, 1993,
and 1994, based on final arrival data by State. Therefore, estimates
have been developed of the numbers of refugees and entrants with
arrival or resettlement dates between October 1, 1991, and September
30, 1994, who are thought to be living in each State as of October 1,
1994. Refugees admitted under the Federal Government's private-sector
initiative are not included, since their assistance and services are to
be provided by the private sponsoring organizations under an agreement
with the Department of State.
The estimates of secondary migration were based on data submitted
by all participating States on Form ORR-11 on secondary migrants who
have resided in the U.S. for 36 months or less, as of September 30,
1994. The total migration reported by each State was summed, yielding
in- and out-migration figures and a net migration figure for each
State. The net migration figure was applied to the State's total
arrival figure, resulting in a revised population estimate. Because
Form ORR-11 now covers the full 36-month period through September 30,
1994, there will no longer be a need for ORR to reconsider State
secondary migration estimates based on additional evidence submitted by
States during the public comment period for this notice. Therefore, we
are eliminating Section VI--State Evidence on Refugee Population--in
this notice.
Estimates were developed separately for refugees and entrants and
then combined into a total estimated 3-year refugee/entrant population
for each State. Eligible Amerasians are included in the refugee
figures.
Table 1, below, shows the estimated 3-year populations, as of
October 1, 1994, of refugees (col. 1), entrants (col. 2), and total
refugees and entrants (col. 3); the formula amounts which the
population estimates yield (col. 4); and the proposed allocation
amounts after allowing for the minimum amounts (col. 5). Table 1 also
shows the number of former political prisoner arrivals in FY 1994 (col.
6); and the proposed allocation amounts for services to this population
(col. 7).
These population estimates and proposed allocation amounts are
intended to be as close to the final figures as was possible at the
time they were developed. However, revisions may need to be made to
reflect final adjustments in FY 1994 arrival data in some States.
V. Proposed Allocation Amounts
Funding will be contingent upon the submittal and approval of a
State annual services plan, as required by 45 CFR 400.11(b)(2). The
following amounts are proposed for allocation for refugee social
services in FY 1995:
