Non-financial Eligibility Requirements and Disqualifying Factors for MRRP

(1) Eligibility Factors. In addition to the responsibilities described in 121 CMR 2.310 through 2.340, there are substantive eligibility requirements that a refugee must meet to be eligible for MRRP. The non-financial requirements are described in 121 CMR 2.410 through 2.440, and the financial factors and method of computing the Refugee Cash Assistance grant are described in 121 CMR 2.500 through 2.560. The factors which disqualify a refugee from receiving different types of assistance under MRRP are described in 121 CMR 2.450 through 2.490. (2) Verification. Acceptable verifications for different eligibility factors are described in 121 CMR 2.540, 2.620(5) and 2.625. Whenever information that establishes an eligibility factor is available from the Reception and Placement process, that information shall be sufficient verification unless there is conflicting information, or unless the refugee disputes the accuracy of the information.
