The U.S. Repatriation Program (Program) is authorized by Section 1113 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. § 1313) and the assistance provided to mentally ill repatriates found under 24 U.S.C. §§ 321 - 329. This Program also provides services for emergency repatriations which are authorized under Section 1113 and by the extension of the Executive Order (E.O.) precedent, E.O. 12656 (53 CFR 47491). Program regulations are in 45 CFR 211 & 212.
The current collection includes eight forms with translations in six languages. The information collected through these forms allows the Office of Human Services Emergency Preparedness and Response (OHSEPR) to fulfill its statutory responsibilities to provide temporary assistance to repatriates.
The Program also provides training and technical assistance to states and territories for routine and emergency repatriation. Additionally, OHSEPR provides funding to states for emergency repatriation planning, training, and exercises.
In 2025, ACF submitted updates to forms under this collection in response to new Executive Orders. Through that process, OMB requested minor edits to the SSA to align with the updates to the form. Through that revision process the incorrect SSA was inadvertently updated and sent for upload. ACF would like to replace the currently uploaded SSA with the correct version. The correct version matches the data entered in ROCIS in terms of burden estimates and forms approved.
