On March 27, 2020, the U.S. Congress passed an historic $2.0 trillion funding bill, Pub. L. 116-136, Coronavirus Aid,Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES) to respond to the Coronavirus Pandemic. The CARES Act provides for $10.0 billion in special funding set-asides for tribal governments for health, education, welfare, and nutrition to respond to the public health emergency. Tribes must determine how to best use the one-time funds; and stay in compliance with federal rules that accompany the funding allocations. Indian tribes will be receiving substantial amounts of funds; and must develop projects that comply with the CARES Act and U.S. Treasury rules. Most of the
Coronavirus Relief Funds (CRF) have limited life; and any funds not used will be withdrawn by the federal government.
