must submit, as their application for this program, estimates of the 
projected costs they anticipate incurring in providing cash and medical 
assistance for eligible recipients and the costs of administering the 
program. Under the CMA program, states are reimbursed for the costs of 
providing these services and benefits for 8 months after an eligible 
recipient arrives in this country. The eligible recipients for these 
services and benefits are refugees, Amerasians, Cuban and Haitian 
Entrants, asylees, Afghans and Iraqi with Special Immigrant Visas, and 
victims of a severe form of trafficking. States that provide services 
for unaccompanied refugee minors also provide an estimate for the cost 
of these services for the year for which they are applying for grants.
    Respondents: State Agencies, the District of Columbia, and 
Replacement Designees under 45 CFR 400.301(c) administering or 
supervising the administration of programs under Title IV of the Act.
