The income and assets of RMA assistance group members are considered together when determining RMA financial eligibility. (See 18.3.5) An RMA assistance group consists of either an unmarried adult refugee (18 years or older) or a married couple without dependent children. Do not consider an RMA applicant as part of another refugee’s RMA assistance group unless they are married.
EXAMPLE: A refugee household consists of a husband, wife, their two unmarried adult daughters (aged 18 and 20) and the husband’s brother. There are four RMA assistance groups in the household:
· Husband and wife: one RMA assistance group
· Unmarried adult daughter, aged 18: one RMA assistance group
· Unmarried adult daughter, aged 20: one RMA assistance group
· Husband’s brother: one RMA assistance group
History: There are no previous versions of this policy.
