There are situations where a refugee loses eligibility for another cash assistance program (for example, a client moves out of an MFIP unit and becomes a single-person unit.)

The person may be eligible for RCA, if they have been in the United States or became eligible for RCA less than 12 months.

If the person was resettled in Minnesota, refer them to their original local resettlement agency to apply for RCA. If the person is a secondary refugee or asylee, follow the instructions in 0030.03.01 (Processing RCA Applications) for how to process applications for secondary refugee and asylees.
