Title: Refugee Medical Assistance 
Abstract:

The Office of Refugee Resettlement proposes to update the refugee medical assistance (RMA) regulations to conform to changes to Medicaid resulting from the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This update will harmonize RMA and Medicaid income methodologies and reduce the burden on States by eliminating the current need for a separate income determination process for Medicaid and RMA.  Aligning RMA with Medicaid will increase refugee access to health care and provide parity between RMA and Medicaid.
