American Rescue Plan (ARP)

The American Rescue Plan (ARP) is a $1.9 trillion economic stimulus law enacted in March 2021 to help the United States recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. It provides funding to support public health efforts, including vaccine distribution and testing, helps individuals and families through direct payments and extended unemployment benefits, assists businesses with grants and loans, and invests in education, infrastructure, and local government services to promote economic stability and growth. The goal is to reduce the pandemic’s impacts and accelerate the nation’s overall recovery.
