POM Review/Feedback
As a reminder, the POM review is due on this Friday, October 2nd. The original email request was sent on August 14th, asking that each budgeted site collectively review the current version of the POM and provide feedback using this survey link. Only one survey should be completed for each site, but does not have to be completed in one sitting. The key is to have the same program staff login to the survey using the same device each time.
USCCB Program Updates
ORR Digital Fingerprint Site List - Attached you will find an updated ORR Digital Fingerprint Site List. Updated information is in red text. Please ensure that you are using the most recent list when assisting with fingerprint appointments for sponsors, household members, and adult caregivers.
Updated NOC Template - The NOC template has been updated to reflect our new ORR Project Officer (PO), Michelle Sheedy. Please use this updated template moving forward.
MRIS Issues - Some program staff reported recent issues with MRIS. Please note that MRIS is most compatible with Internet Explorer, and may not function properly with other browsers. Additionally, you need to ensure that your compatibility view settings are configured to include the website. Please contact your CSS is the issue persists.
