The economic recovery package includes critically needed funding which states can use to help stabilize their budgets and stimulate economic growth. While the legislation covers a long list of programs, for the purposes of state budgets and immediate citizen needs, it is helpful to focus on three key categories (CSG PowerPoint Presentation). The stimulus provides:
1. Almost $100 billion in flexible funding that SUPPLANTS state spending (Medicaid and flexible funding under the Fiscal Stabilization Fund) 2. As much as $130 billion in formula funding that SUPPLEMENTS state spending (Transportation, Education, Job Training, etc.)
3. Up to $100 billion in competitive grant funding OPPORTUNITIES (Energy Efficiency Grants, Education Incentive Grants, etc.) Maximizing State Funding ------------------------
These funding areas include multiple programs and subcategories each with their own eligibility and accountability requirements. To help states decipher the complex rules, deadlines, and reporting requirements within the stimulus, The Council of State Governments (CSG) partnered with Latham & Watkins, LLP to conduct a comprehensive, yet user friendly, overview of state-related funding within the legislation. The links below provide detailed information for helping all states maximize their federal funding opportunities.

A number of sources provide effective estimates of how much funding each state may be eligible to receive if the state acts quickly and meets the various eligibility requirements of multiple federal programs. These organizations include: 1. Federal Funds Information for States (FFIS) provides detailed state breakdowns through a fee-based subscription service. Contact FFIS at www.ffis.org to see if an agency in your state has already subscribed to the service.
2. The Senate Democratic Policy Committee (DPC) has published state-by-state reports on the impact of the economic recovery legislation for a variety of different programs. The DPC serves Senate Democratic members by providing research and legislative support, developing policy proposals, and publishing reports on important legislation. 3. The Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, an independent think tank dedicated to working at the federal and state levels on fiscal and public policy programs has posted publicly available state-by-state estimates on many program funding areas within the ARRA including:
Temporary Increase in State FMAP State Fiscal Stabilization Fund
Education Unemployment Insurance
Child Care Child Support
Training and Employment Services Food Stamp (or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance) Program
Emergency Shelter Grant Program Child Tax Credit
Making Work Pay Tax Credit Federal Information -------------------
The legislation sets the framework for accessing federal funding, but the greater challenge for state agencies and legislative oversight committees is tracking the actions that federal agencies are taking to implement the legislation. Helpful resources for tracking information on funding availability, grant requirements, and other information include:
On November 30, the Congressional Budget Office issued the following report: Estimated Impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act on Employment and Economic Output as of September 2009 In July, the General Accountability Office released the following report: Recovery Act: States’ and Localities’ Current and Planned Uses of Funds While Facing Fiscal Stresses
On April 23, 2009, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee held a hearing to assess state and local implementation of the Recovery Act. On April 23, 2009, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) released its first in a series of bi-monthly reviews of selected states' and localities' use of Recovery Act funds. The full report may be found here: Recovery Act: As Initial Implementation Unfolds in States and Localities, Continued Attention to Accountability Issues is Essential. A summary of the report may be found here: http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d09631t.pdf.
On April 23, 2009, Vice President Biden responded to the GAO bi-monthly report (link included above) in a letter to the Chair and Ranking Member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. On March 17, 2009, the Congressional Research Service (CRS) released a memorandum analyzing Section 1607 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Section 1607 of the ARRA provides that ARRA funds may be made available to a state either after certification by a state's governor or by concurrent resolution by a state legislature. This CRS analysis was prepared in response to a request by Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC). In response to the CRS memorandum, Senator Graham requested additional information in a letter to White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Peter Orszag on March 18, 2009 (3/18/2009 Sen. Graham Letter). On March, 31, 2009, OMB responded to Senator Graham in a letter outlining whether a State legislature could access its allocation of the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund if the state's governor failed to submit an application to the Department of Education (3/31/2009 OMB Response Letter).
