This booklet is a review of the State Department's management of Federal funds and voluntary agencies' distribution and use of program funds for refugee reception and placement. Most of the refugees received the required core services with at least 94.3% receiving food, clothing, and shelter; and 84.1% receiving general employment-related services (counseling, training, and/or placement). About 15% of the refugees in the sample had jobs at the time of the review--those with no ties in the United States, of non-Indochinese descent and not resettled in California being more likely to be employed. In 61.6% of the sample cases, at least one case member applied for public assistance. It was found that the goals of the 90-day resettlement program are insufficiently clear. Further, there are insufficient performance standards and agency accountability mechanisms. It is recommended that (1) self sufficiency goals be clarified; (2) reasonable and measurable performance standards for monitoring program accomplishments be applied; and that (3) the need for specific actions to improve the level of accountability and control required to oversee the refugee program be considered. The report includes extensive appendices analyzing selected refugee cases and providing copies of State Department comments. (CG)
