Abstract: The Refugee Cash and Medical Assistance (CMA) program, implemented by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), DHHS, is a reimbursement program for costs incurred by States and non-profit organizations in providing assistance to refugees, asylees, Cuban/Haitian entrants, Amerasians, Afghans and Iraqis with Special Immigrant Visas, and victims of trafficking. The program reimburses States and non-profit organizations for the costs they incur in providing four types of assistance: cash assistance, medical assistance, medical screening, and services for unaccompanied refugee minors. The purpose of the ORR-2 is to collect cost data from grantees for each component of the Program.
