American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)
The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021 is the latest relief package for COVID-19 which provides $1.9 trillion in mandatory funding, program changes, and tax policies aimed at mitigating the continuing effects of the pandemic. The U.S. Department of Treasury has published the Final Rule (Guidance) and State and Local Aid Allocations for the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF).
USE OF FUNDS
In addition to responding to the far-reaching public health and negative economic impacts of the pandemic; providing premium pay for essential workers; and investing in water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure, the Final Rule gives recipients broad latitude to use funds for the provision of government services to the extent of reduction in revenue.
Government services can include, but are not limited to, maintenance of infrastructure or pay-go spending for building new infrastructure, including roads; modernization of cybersecurity, including hardware, software, and protection of critical infrastructure; health services; environmental remediation; school or educational services; and the provision of police, fire, and other public safety services.
Please refer to pages 4400-4408 of the Final Rule for more information pertaining to the revenue loss calculation methodology and use of funds for government services.
SPECIAL NOTE: All SLFRF Funds must be obligated on or before December 31, 2024 and must be expended by December 31, 2026.

Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act (IIJA)
On November 15, 2021, President Biden signed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act into law. This Act includes a significant investment of $65 billion to help close the digital divide and ensure that all Americans have access to reliable, high speed, and affordable broadband. This investment builds upon the funding for broadband deployment provided in the American Rescue Plan, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, the FCC’s Universal Service program, and USDA’s Rural Utilities Service broadband programs. This historic investment will lay critical groundwork for widespread access and affordability of broadband, creating new jobs and economic opportunities, providing increased access to healthcare services, enriching educational experiences of students, and improving overall quality of life for all Americans.
Please contact us for more information about other IIJA funding opportunities.
