American Rescue Plan Act

The American Rescue Plan Act, passed in 2021, is a federal law designed to help the U.S. recover from the economic and health impacts of COVID-19. It provides $1.9 trillion in funding for various initiatives, including direct financial support to individuals and families, funding for vaccine distribution and health care, support for small businesses, and aid to state and local governments. The goal is to reduce economic hardship, improve public health, and help communities return to normalcy more swiftly.
