    In Executive Order 14013, the President emphasizes the importance of the United States' role in resettling refugees and addressing the global refugee crisis. The order focuses on rebuilding and enhancing the United States Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP), ensuring it operates efficiently, fairly, and aligns with national values. It revokes previous policies that hindered refugee admissions and directs multiple government agencies to review current processes and improve refugee security vetting, welcome processes, and integration efforts. Additionally, the order highlights the impact of climate change on migration, asking for a comprehensive report on how it influences forced migration and resettlement.

    The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) announced that it is reducing the eligibility period for Refugee Cash Assistance (RCA) and Refugee Medical Assistance (RMA) from 12 months to four months. This change will affect refugees who become eligible for ORR benefits 45 days after the notice's publication. The decision was made to prevent budget shortfalls due to high refugee admissions and reduced appropriations. The ORR emphasizes that the duration of assistance is determined by available funds, despite the benefits of longer eligibility periods.

    Simple Explanation

    The government says it will help new refugees with money and medical care for only four months instead of a whole year because there isn't enough money to help for the longer time.
