Treasury Issues Relief Guidance for State, Local, and Tribal Governments
05/11/2021
On Monday, the U.S. Treasury launched the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds that will deliver the most substantive amount ($350 billion) of federal relief from the Rescue Plan Act of 2021 to state, local, and tribal governments.
Treasury Secretary Yellen highlighted that this funding corrects a policy error that occurred after the Great Recession when lawmakers did not provide enough aid to help cover revenue shortfalls.
Treasury included final information related to how allocations can be requested and other details, some of which we have included below in our summary. For a complete picture, please see the Treasury’s website and related resources.
