Title: Request for Assistance for Child 

Victims of Human Trafficking. 

OMB No.: New collection. 

Description: The William Wilberforce 

Trafficking Victims Protection 

Reauthorization Act (TVPRA) of 2008, 

Public Law 110–457, directs the U.S. 

Secretary of Health and Human Services 

(HHS), upon receipt of credible 

information that a non-U.S. citizen, nonlawful permanent resident (alien) child 

may have been subjected to a severe 

form of trafficking in persons and is 

seeking Federal assistance available to 

victims of trafficking, to promptly 

determine if the child is eligible for 

interim assistance. The law further 

directs the Secretary of HHS to 

determine if the child is eligible for 

assistance as a victim of a severe forms 

of trafficking in persons after 

consultation with the Attorney General, 

the Secretary of Homeland Security, and 

nongovernmental organizations with 

expertise on victims of severe forms of 

trafficking. 

In developing procedures for 

collecting the necessary information 

from potential child victims of 

trafficking, their case managers, 

attorneys, or other representatives to 

allow HHS to grant interim eligibility, 

HHS devised a form. HHS has 

determined that the use of a standard 

form to collect information is the best 

way to ensure requestors are notified of 

their option to request assistance for 

child victims of trafficking and to make 

prompt and consistent determinations 

about the child’s eligibility for interim 

assistance. 

Specifically, the form asks the 

requestor for his/her identifying 

information, for information on the 

child, information describing the type of 

trafficking and circumstances 

surrounding the situation, and the 

strengths and needs of the child. The 

form also asks the requestor to verify the 

information contained in the form 

because the information could be the 

basis for a determination of an alien 

child’s eligibility for federally funded 

benefits. 

Finally, the form takes into 

consideration the need to compile 

information regarding a child’s 

circumstances and experiences in a nondirective, child-friendly way, and assists 

the potential requestor in assessing 

whether the child may have been 

subjected to trafficking in persons. The 

information provided through the 

completion of a Request for Assistance 

for Child Victims of Human Trafficking 

form will enable HHS to make prompt 

determinations regarding the eligibility 

of an alien child for interim assistance, 

inform HHS’ determination regarding 

the child’s eligibility for assistance as a 

victim of a severe form of trafficking in 

persons, facilitate the required 

consultation process, and enable HHS to 

assess and address potential child 

protection issues. 

Respondents: Representatives of 

governmental and nongovernmental 

entities providing social, legal, or 

protective services to a non-U.S. citizen, 

non-lawful permanent resident (alien) 

individual under the age of 18 (child) in 

the United States who may have been 

subjected to a severe form of trafficking 

in persons.
