AS OF JUNE 24, 2021 <br />2 <br /> <br />• Tribal governments <br />• Counties <br />• Metropolitan cities <br />• Non-entitlement units, or smaller local governments <br /> <br />1.2. Which governments receive funds directly from Treasury? <br /> <br />Treasury will distribute funds directly to each eligible state, territory, metropolitan city, <br />county, or Tribal government. Smaller local governments that are classified as non- <br />entitlement units will receive funds through their applicable state government. <br /> <br />1.3. Are special-purpose units of government eligible to receive funds? <br /> <br />Special-purpose units of local government will not receive funding allocations; however, <br />a state, territory, local, or Tribal government may transfer funds to a special-purpose unit <br />of government. Special-purpose districts perform specific functions in the community, <br />such as fire, water, sewer or mosquito abatement districts. <br /> <br />1.4. How are funds being allocated to Tribal governments, and how will Tribal <br />governments find out their allocation amounts? <br /> <br />$20 billion of Fiscal Recovery Funds was reserved for Tribal governments. The <br />American Rescue Plan Act specifies that $1 billion will be allocated evenly to all eligible <br />Tribal governments. The remaining $19 billion will be distributed using an allocation <br />methodology based on enrollment and employment. <br /> <br />There will be two payments to Tribal governments. Each Tribal government’s first <br />payment will include (i) an amount in respect of the $1 billion allocation that is to be <br />divided equally among eligible Tribal governments and (ii) each Tribal government’s pro <br />rata share of the Enrollment Allocation. Tribal governments will be notified of their <br />allocation amount and delivery of payment 4-5 days after completing request for funds in <br />the Treasury Submission Portal. The deadline to make the initial request for funds is <br />June 21, 2021.1 <br /> <br />In mid-June or shortly after completing the initial request for funds, Tribal governments <br />will receive an email notification to re-enter the Treasury Submission Portal to confirm or <br />amend their 2019 employment numbers that were submitted to the Department of the <br />Treasury for the CARES Act’s Coronavirus Relief Fund. The deadline to confirm <br />employment numbers is July 9, 2021. Treasury will calculate each Tribal government’s <br />pro rata share of the Employment Allocation for those Tribal governments that confirmed <br />or submitted amended employment numbers. In late-June, Treasury will communicate to <br />Tribal governments the amount of their portion of the Employment Allocation and the <br />anticipated date for the second payment. <br /> <br /> <br />1 This document was updated on June 10, 2021 to reflect the extension of the two portal submission deadlines.
