Ill. Admin. Code tit. 89, § 115.30 - The Refugee Resettlement Program
a) The Refugee Resettlement Program (RRP)
provides for the authorization of assistance (financial and medical or medical
only) for eligible needy refugees and asylees from any nation, for
Cuban/Haitian Entrants, and for certain Amerasian immigrants from Vietnam (and
their close family members) as determined by the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS).
b) In order to be
eligible to be included in a Refugee Resettlement assistance unit, an
individual must be a refugee, admitted into the United States U.S. as a refugee
or granted asylum, or be an Amerasian born in Vietnam between January 1, 1962,
and January 1, 1976, (or a close family member of such an Amerasian) and
admitted to the U.S. as an immigrant under the Orderly Departure Program ( P.L.
96-212 ) on March 20, 1988, or be a Cuban/Haitian Entrant admitted on or after
April 21, 1980, or be an Afghani or Iraqi immigrant with special immigrant
status under Section 101(a)(27) of the Immigration and Nationality Act
(INA).
c) Assistance is limited to
a period of time established by the federal government based on available
federally appropriated funds for the year. The period of time begins with the
first month the person entered the U.S., except for asylees, whose period
begins with the date asylum was granted. Individuals whose established period
of time has expired may be eligible for State Family and Children Assistance or
Transitional Assistance.
d) A child
born to refugee parents may be included in the assistance unit even though the
child was born in the U.S., as long as both parents are refugees.
