Initial Resettlement
How do refugees arrive into the United States?
The process for newly arriving refugees is undergoing a federal update. More information will be provided when available.
Additional resettlement services include:
RSS provides social services coordination and supports including English language training and employment training and assistance. Refugees are eligible to receive RSS services for up to 5 years after arrival.-
CMA provides Refugee Cash Assistance (RCA) for individuals and couples without dependent children and others not eligible for Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF). Through CMA, refugees are supported to apply for NJ’s Medicaid program, NJ FamilyCare, for health care coverage. - supports refugee and ORR-eligible populations with challenging needs that require special attention, including those with serious medical conditions, women at risk, and elderly refugees.
- helps refugees and other ORR-eligible populations overcome barriers and quickly find jobs. The intent is for refugees to become economically self-sufficient through employment within 240 days and without accessing cash assistance programs.
