Did you know that asylees are eligible for benefits and services such as job placement, English classes, and temporary cash assistance? Many asylees are not aware of time-limited benefits and services available to them through the federal Office of Refugee Resettlement that can facilitate a smooth adjustment and early self-sufficiency in the U.S.
Please call 1-800-354-0365 for information and referrals to programs in their local community.
