Title 16
8000 Refugee Resettlement Program
8012 Verification with Resettlement Agencies or Sponsors
As part of the regular process of determining (or redetermining) a refugee's eligibility for cash or medical assistance, DSS will contact the refugee's sponsor or resettlement agency and inquire as to:
a) What assistance the sponsor or resettlement agency is providing to the refugee, and
b) Whether the refugee has refused an offer of employment or has voluntarily quit a job without good cause.
This contact will also serve to notify the sponsor or resettlement agency that this refugee has applied for assistance from DSS.
