Why it matters for dental
HHS has updated a federal System of Records for unaccompanied children, which may affect dental providers who treat this population under ORR-funded programs.
Key points
- System of Records Notice (SORN) 09-80-0321 was renamed from ORR Unaccompanied Children Bureau (UCB) to ORR Unaccompanied Alien Children Bureau (UACB) Administrative Program Records.
- The SORN streamlines certain routine uses to enhance information sharing for child protection purposes while maintaining core privacy protections.
- Records covered include information about unaccompanied children, their intended sponsors, and members of the intended sponsors' households.
- Dental providers participating in ORR programs should review internal privacy and data-sharing policies to ensure compliance with the updated SORN.
