Submission for Office of Management and Budget Review; Mental Health Assessment Form and Onsite Health Intervention Form- Facts included
- The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) is requesting a 3‑year extension with changes of the Mental Health Assessment Form and Onsite Health Intervention Form (formerly Public Health Investigation Form: Non‑TB Illness, and Public Health Investigation Form: Active TB, OMB #0970‑0509, expiration 9/30/2026).
- Proposed revisions include merging two forms (Public Health Investigation Forms, Active TB and Non‑TB Illness) into the single Onsite Health Intervention (OHI) Form.
- The proposed restructuring and revisions will improve transparency, lessen burden, improve data quality, and ensure alignment with ORR requirements.
- The request has been revised to include the sharing of health information with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in specific circumstances.
- Sourcing
- The information comes from a single, self‑published agency submission; no external verification or independent sources are provided.
- Framing
- The text presents the request as a factual description of proposed administrative changes; it includes evaluative language (e.g., "improve transparency, lessen burden, improve data quality") that reflects the agency's perspective rather than independent verification.
- Omissions
- The document does not explain why the sharing of health information with DHS is needed, what specific circumstances trigger sharing, or how privacy protections will be addressed.
