Title: Annual Survey of Refugees (Form ORR-9).
OMB No.: 0970-0033.
Description: The Annual Survey of Refugees collects information on
the social and economic characteristics of a random sample of refugees,
Amerasians, and entrants who arrived in the United States in the five
years prior to the date of the survey. The survey focuses on employment
and other training, labor force participation, and welfare utilization
rates. From the responses, the Office of Refugee Resettlement reports
on the economic adjustment of refugees to the American economy. These
data are used by Congress in its annual deliberations on refugee
admissions and funding and by program managers in formulating policies
for the future direction of the Refugee Resettlement Program.
Respondents: Refugees, Amerasians, and entrants.
