The CAO will provide the same notices to the refugee as it provides to any other client. See the Cash Assistance and Medical Assistance Eligibility Handbooks. When RCA or RMA benefits are denied, authorized, changed, or discontinued, the CAO will clearly state on the notice that the decision applies to eligibility for Refugee Assistance.
Example: If the CAO determines that a refugee is ineligible for TANF benefits, but is eligible for RCA, the notice must explain both decisions.
