Refugee Assistance Extension Act of 1984

Summary

Refugee Assistance Extension Act of 1983 - Amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to authorize appropriations for refugee assistance through 1985. Places the Office of Refugee Resettlement within the Office of the Secretary of Health and Human Services. (Presently such Refugee Office is in the Social Security Administration.) Authorizes the Secretary of Education (presently the Director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement) to make grants for special educational programs for refugee children. Requires the Comptroller General to directly audit FY 1984 and FY 1985 initial resettlement grants. Requires a recipient agency (in addition to existing provisions) to: (1) provide quarterly performance and finance reports; (2) notify, upon request, local welfare offices of any cash assistance provided directly by such agency to a refugee; (3) insure that refugees with medical conditions affecting the public health report to the appropriate health authorities in their resettlement areas; and (4) report annually to the administering Federal agency and the appropriate congressional committees regarding refugee placement, expenditures, and other related program information. Authorizes grants for local areas with high refugee concentrations. States that such grants shall supplement other funds and be used primarily for refugee employment. Prohibits refugees who enter the United States on or after October 1, 1984, from receiving aid to families with dependent children assistance for the first 90 days after admission to the United States. Authorizes States to disqualify a refugee from general cash assistance programs during such period, except in extreme hardship cases or in emergencies. Terminates refugee cash assistance for three months for refusal to accept employment (six months for subsequent refusals). Prohibits: (1) such cash or medical assistance grants from being given as block or consolidated grants; and (2) the Director from delegating grant review or approval authority to the States or their political subdivisions.
