Natcher Chairman, Subcommittee on the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Committee on Appropriations House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: Subject: Review of HHS Inspector General's Report on California's Refugee Resettlement Program (GAO/HRD-85-41) In October 1984, at the request of the Subcommittee, we began a review of a Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Inspector General's (IG's) audit of federal payments to California for its Refugee Cash Assistance Program. Of the more than $256 million paid to California for its refugee program from April I, 1981, through September 30, 1982, the IG concluded that almost $34 million did not qualify for federal funding. As the Subcommittee requested, we examined the methodology the IG used in conducting the audit and the conclusions reached. The results of our review are presented below. BACKGROUND The Refugee Act of 1980, Public Law 96-212, established within HHS the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) and author- ized assistance and services to refugees residing in the United States. Under the act, refugee assistance was consolidated under the Refugee Resettlement Program (RRP), and federal fund- ing of cash and medical assistance was limited to the first 36 months a refugee is in the United States.1 1Federal funds are supplied .to a state under RRP through quar- terly grants based on estimates of the state's needs for that quarter and the amount appropriated for the program. At the end of'each quarter, the state files a report accounting for the use of the federal funds during the quarter. (118123) 126302
