Abstract: The TVPRA 2008 directs HHS upon receipt of credible information that a non-U.S. citizen, non-lawful permanent resident (alien) child may have been subjected to a severe form of trafficking in persons and is seeking Federal assistance available to victims of trafficking, to promptly determine if the child is eligble for interim assistance. The law further directs HSS to determine if the child is eligble for assistance as a victim of a severe form of trafficking in persons after consultation with the Attorney General, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and nongovernmental organizations with expertise on victims of severe form of trafficking. In developing procedures for collecting the neccessary informaiton from potential child victims of trafficking, their case managers, attorneys, or other representatives to allow HHS to grant interim eligbility, HHS devised a form. HHS has determined that the use of a standard form to collect iformation is the best way to ensure requestors are notified of their option to request assistance for child victims of trafficking and to make prompt and consistent determinations about the child's eligbility for interim assistance. Specifcially, the form asks the requestor for his/her identifying information, for information on the child, information describing the type of trafficking and circumstances surrounding the situation, and the strengths and needs of the child. The form also asks the requestor to verify the information contained in the form becuase the information could be the basis for a determination of an alien child's eligibiltiy for federally funded benefits. Finally, the form takes into consideration the need to compile information regarding a child's circumstances and experiences in a non-directive, child-friendly way, and assists the potential requestor in assessing whether the child may have been subjected to trafficking in persons.
