<br />2 <br /> <br />Starting today, eligible state, territorial, metropolitan city, county, and Tribal governments may request <br />Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds through the Treasury Submission Portal. Concurrent <br />with this program launch, Treasury has published an Interim Final Rule that implements the provisions <br />of this program. <br />FUNDING AMOUNTS <br />The American Rescue Plan provides a total of $350 billion in Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery <br />Funds to help eligible state, local, territorial, and Tribal governments meet their present needs and build <br />the foundation for a strong recovery. Congress has allocated this funding to tens of thousands of <br />jurisdictions. These allocations include: <br />Type <br />Amount <br />($ billions) <br />States & District of Columbia $195.3 <br />Counties $65.1 <br />Metropolitan Cites $45.6 <br />Tribal Governments $20.0 <br />Territories $4.5 <br />Non-Entitlement Units of <br />Local Government <br />$19.5 <br /> <br />Treasury expects to distribute these funds directly to each state, territorial, metropolitan city, county, <br />and Tribal government. Local governments that are classified as non-entitlement units will receive this <br />funding through their applicable state government. Treasury expects to provide further guidance on <br />distributions to non-entitlement units next week. <br />Local governments should expect to receive funds in two tranches, with 50% provided beginning in May <br />2021 and the balance delivered 12 months later. States that have experienced a net increase in the <br />unemployment rate of more than 2 percentage points from February 2020 to the latest available data as <br />of the date of certification will receive their full allocation of funds in a single payment; other states will <br />receive funds in two equal tranches. Governments of U.S. territories will receive a single payment. <br />Tribal governments will receive two payments, with the first payment available in May and the second <br />payment, based on employment data, to be delivered in June 2021. <br />USES OF FUNDING <br />Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds provide eligible state, local, territorial, and Tribal <br />governments with a substantial infusion of resources to meet pandemic response needs and rebuild a <br />stronger, more equitable economy as the country recovers. Within the categories of eligible uses, <br />recipients have broad flexibility to decide how best to use this funding to meet the needs of their <br />communities.
