Abstract: Description: A State Plan is required by 8 U.S.C. Sec. 1522 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (the Act) [Title IV, Sec. 412 of the Act] for each State agency requesting Federal funding for refugee resettlement under 8 U.S.C. Sec. 1524 [Title IV, Sec. 414 of the Act], including Refugee Cash and Medical Assistance, Refugee Social Services, and Targeted Assistance program funding. The State Plan is a comprehensive narrative description of the nature and scope of a State's programs and provides assurances that the programs will be administered in conformity with the specific requirements stipulated in 45 CFR 400.4-400.9. The State Plan must include all applicable State procedures, designations, and certifications for each requirement as well as supporting documentation. A State may use a pre-print format prepared by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) of the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) or a different format, on the condition that the format used meets all of the State plan requirements under Title IV of the Act and ORR regulations at 45 CFR part 400. Respondents: State Agencies, Replacement Designees under 45 CFR 400.301(c), and Wilson-Fish Grantees (State Agencies) administering or supervising the administration of programs under Title IV of the Act.
