    The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is looking for public feedback on proposed changes to their data collection process for the ORR-1 Cash and Medical Assistance (CMA) Program Estimates. These changes include minor updates to the existing ORR-1 form and introducing a required template for recipients to use when preparing annual budget estimates. This standardized format aims to simplify the process, as recipients must now submit their budget justifications in a Microsoft Excel workbook that auto-calculates necessary values, reducing burden for both submitters and reviewers. Comments on the necessity, accuracy, and potential improvements of this information collection are welcome until February 25, 2025.
