Interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi's office said the first residents allowed to return will be from the western neighborhood of Andalus.
Residents from other districts will be allowed to return later, but no timetable has been given.
The interim government says returning families will be eligible for compensation of up to $10,000 for homes damaged or destroyed in last month's fighting between U.S.-led forces and insurgents.
Authorities have pledged to provide food, water, and electricity to returning families.
Al-Fallujah had a population of more than 250,000 people, but most residents fled ahead of the U.S.-led assault. Reports say there are still regular clashes in some parts of the city.
