SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The Trafficking Victims
Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000, as
amended directs the Secretary of the
U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), upon receipt of credible
information that a foreign national
minor may have been subjected to a
severe form of trafficking in persons and
is seeking assistance available to victims
of trafficking, to promptly determine if
the child is eligible for benefits and
services to the same extent as refugees.
HHS delegated this authority to the
Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTIP).
OTIP developed a form for case
managers, attorneys, law enforcement
officers, child welfare workers, and
other representatives to report these
trafficking concerns to HHS in
accordance with the TVPA of 2000, as
amended, and allow for OTIP to review
the concerns and determine eligibility
for benefits.
Specifically, the form asks the
requester for their identifying
information, identifying information for
the child, and information describing
the potential trafficking concerns. The
form takes into consideration the need
to compile information regarding a
child’s experiences in a traumaADDRESSES:

informed and child-centered manner
and assists the requester in assessing
whether the child may have been
subjected to a severe form of trafficking
in persons. The information provided
through the completion of a Request for
Assistance (RFA) for Child Victims of
Human Trafficking form enables OTIP
to make prompt determinations
regarding a foreign national minor’s
eligibility for assistance, facilitate the
required consultation process should
the minor receive interim assistance,
and enable OTIP to assess and address
potential child protection issues. OTIP
also uses the information provided to
respond to congressional inquiries,
fulfill federal reporting requirements,
and inform policy and program
development that is responsive to the
needs of victims.
In 2019, OTIP launched Shepherd, an
online case management system, to
process requests for assistance and
certification on behalf of foreign
national minor and adult victims of
trafficking. If a requester encounters
issues submitting a request through
Shepherd, they may submit the RFA
form to OTIP as a password protected
PDF to childtrafficking@acf.hhs.gov.
Respondents: Representatives of
governmental entities, members of the
community, and nongovernmental
entities providing social, legal, or
protective services to foreign national
minors in the United States who may
have been subjected to severe forms of
trafficking in persons. Furthermore,
representatives within the community
with a concern that a foreign national
minor may have been subjected to
severe forms of trafficking in persons
may also use the RFA form.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000,
as amended directs the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS), upon receipt of credible information that a
foreign national minor may have been subjected to a severe form of
trafficking in persons and is seeking assistance available to victims
of trafficking, to promptly determine if the child is eligible for
benefits and services to the same extent as refugees. HHS delegated
this authority to the Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTIP).
OTIP developed a form for case managers, attorneys, law enforcement
officers, child welfare workers, and other representatives to report
these trafficking concerns to HHS in accordance with the TVPA of 2000,
as amended, and allow for OTIP to review the concerns and determine
eligibility for benefits.
Specifically, the form asks the requester for their identifying
information, identifying information for the child, and information
describing the potential trafficking concerns. The form takes into
consideration the need to compile information regarding a child's
experiences in a trauma-informed and child-centered manner and assists
the requester in assessing whether the child may have been subjected to
a severe form of trafficking in persons. The information provided
through the completion of a Request for Assistance (RFA) for Child
Victims of Human Trafficking form enables OTIP to make prompt
determinations regarding a foreign national minor's eligibility for
assistance, facilitate the required consultation process should the
minor receive interim assistance, and enable OTIP to assess and address
potential child protection issues. OTIP also uses the information
provided to respond to congressional inquiries, fulfill federal
reporting requirements, and inform policy and program development that
is responsive to the needs of victims.
In 2019, OTIP launched Shepherd, an online case management system,
to process requests for assistance and certification on behalf of
foreign national minor and adult victims of trafficking. If a requester
encounters issues submitting a request through Shepherd, they may
submit the RFA form to OTIP as a password protected PDF to
[email protected].
Respondents: Representatives of governmental entities, members of
the community, and nongovernmental entities providing social, legal, or
protective services to foreign national minors in the United States who
may have been subjected to severe forms of trafficking in persons.
Furthermore, representatives within the community with a concern that a
foreign national minor may have been subjected to severe forms of
trafficking in persons may also use the RFA form.
