Description of Subjects/Issues The Afghanistan Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2022 (Public Law 117-43) was authorized on September 30, 2021. The act established immediate eligibility for federal benefit programs for Afghan humanitarian parolees (also known as non-SI parolees). The Colorado Refugee Services Program (CRSP) proposes the inclusion of new Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) eligible categories of Afghan population groups into the state rules, in response to the urgent evacuation and resettlement of Afghan population to the State of Colorado. The proposed rule will ensure that the new categories of Afghan population groups and their document types, that are proof of their status, are clearly reflected in the state rules. NOTE: Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, it is anticipated that this meeting will take place entirely online. Check here for any updates on location/connection: https://cdhs.colorado.gov/sbhs

Comments CDHS typically holds 2 public hearings, an initial and final, for each proposed rule. The initial hearing allowing the public an opportunity to submit written data, views, or arguments and to testify for or against the proposed rules. The Board does not vote on the proposed rule at the initial hearing, but asks CDHS to consider all public comment and discussion and, if needed, submit revisions to the proposed rule. The final hearing, usually the month following the initial hearing, allows the same opportunity for public comment, after which the Board votes on final adoption of the proposed rule. Emergency rules (ER) are adopted immediately, and are permanently adopted at a second hearing, usually the month after the initial hearing. This hearing permanently adopted ER adopted 12/3/21.
