Abstract:
The Refugee Data Submission System for Formula Funds Allocations (ORR-5) is designed to satisfy the statutory requirements of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Section 412(a)(3)of the INA (8 U.S.C. § 1522(a)(3)) requires that the Director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) make a periodic assessment of the needs of refugees for assistance and services and the resources available to meet those needs. Through this current request, ORR proposes: 1) an extension with no changes to the current form until January 31, 2021 to ensure continuous information collection for FY 2020; 2) revisions to the form for use after FY 2020. Revisions include collecting additional client-level data elements on the ORR-5 at two points in time, which will allow the ORR Director to better understand client goals, services utilized, and the outcomes achieved by the population ORR serves. ORR believes the new proposed data points will better meet INA requirements and ensure the relative needs of the populations ORR serves are assessed. To satisfy statutory requirements, ORR requires each state and replacement designee (hereinafter referred to as “states”) participating in the program to submit disaggregated individual records annually containing certain data elements for eligible refugee populations. ORR utilizes the data currently collected to assess the number of clients served in each state, resettlement assistance or services refugees received, and to determine the corresponding Refugee Support Services (RSS) allocations. ORR also proposes collecting new data elements to inform evidence-based policy making and program design. New data elements include additional demographics, primary goals identified and referrals made to work toward self-sufficiency, progress made toward achieving said goals, and employment status of employable refugees 12 months post-enrollment. These revisions also enable ORR and states to monitor implementation of the requirements put forth in ORR Policy Letter 19-07, which provides guidance on RSS family self-sufficiency plans.
