March 21, 2025ORR announced that resettled refugees will only be eligible to receive Refugee Cash Assistance (RCA) and Refugee Medical Assistance (RMA) for a four-month period after arriving in the United States. The eligibility period for RCA and RMA was previously 12 months. This shortened period will impact all participants who become eligible for ORR benefits 45 days after publication of this notice. ORR determined that it “must shorten the RCA and RMA eligibility to period to four months to avoid a significant budget shortfall.”
