Help for returning Americans capped at $10 million
The government provides temporary repatriation help to U.S. citizens who return from abroad. For fiscal years 2021 and 2022, total payments nationwide cannot exceed $10 million each year. This cap applies to the whole program, not to each person. The law also treats these costs as an emergency under federal budget rules, which changes how they are counted, not who can get help.
