Title: Office of Refugee Resettlement Refugee Support Services Funding Clarification 
Abstract:

This adjustment to the Refugee Resettlement Program rule will codify ORR’s revised approach to awarding Refugee Support Services (RSS) formula grants, pursuant to section 412(c)(1)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), 8 U.S.C. 1522(c)(1)(B). ORR interprets this section to indicate that ORR may allocate formula grants only to States. Accordingly, ORR will award RSS formula grants, to the extent of available appropriations, only to the States, and will not provide nonprofit agency replacement designees with RSS formula grants.
