The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was passed by the US Congress in March 2020. The relief package delivers over $2 trillion dollars to provide fast and direct economic assistance for American workers, families, and small businesses, and preserve jobs for our American industries.
The CARES Act created the Coronavirus Relief Fund to provide for payments to State, Local, and Tribal governments navigating the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak.
