247.13 Changes During the RCA/RMA Eligibility Period SR 10-06, 07/10 (FAM-A)

RCA/RMA must be terminated if changes in the refugee’s circumstances cause the refugee to become ineligible for assistance prior to the end of the 8-month eligibility period.

Exception: RMA-only may continue for the full 8 months if the change causing the ineligibility is due to increased earnings. Once an individual is eligible for RCA or RMA, continuing eligibility for RMA for the maximum 8-month period is unaffected by increases in earned income, even if RCA is terminated due to the increase in earned income. Discontinue RMA prior to the end of the AG’s 8-month eligibility period if the individual becomes ineligible for any reason other than an increase in earned income.
