Service Code Definition:

389 – Repatriation Services are those activities, benefits and services provided to American citizens returning to the United States from foreign nations because of destitution, mental illness, physical illness, or international crisis. Allowable activities include, but are not limited to: intake, case management, needs assessment and referral to private and public service providers, counseling, health care, transportation, temporary shelter, and the provision of emergency cash assistance and loans. Funds expended for these services are considered loans to the individual, who will be responsible for reimbursement to the Federal government. Services may be provided for up to 90 days from the date an individual arrives in the United States.

Special Instructions: If the only service provided to a repatriated individual is 389-Repatriation Services, it is not necessary (but allowable) to complete a SIS Client Entry Form (DSS-5027) to open a service client information record in the Services Information System. If the individual receives additional services, a DSS-5027 must be completed, as appropriate for the specific services provided, and the request for 389-Repatriation Services should be documented along with the other services requested.
