This bill requires the Secretary of State to develop a reimbursement plan for individuals and organizations who spent their own money to evacuate American citizens, permanent residents, and Afghan allies from Afghanistan between August and November 2021. The plan must be submitted to Congress within 120 days and should include eligibility requirements, types of reimbursable expenses, claim filing procedures, processing timelines, and documentation requirements. The Secretary must consult with the Department of Defense and nonprofit organizations that helped with the evacuations when developing the plan. The bill affects private citizens, U.S. permanent residents, nongovernmental organizations, and Afghan allies who paid out-of-pocket evacuation costs during that specific period, though the legislation does not appropriate specific funding amounts and instead requires only that a plan be created and submitted to Congress.
