President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 on March 11, 2021. The $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package includes new economic stimulus payments, extended unemployment benefits, public health funding for vaccines and testing, emergency rental and utility assistance funds, and numerous other provisions extending economic assistance to individuals, families, and businesses. With $350 billion in State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, the Act provides an historic investment in states and local governments across the country to assist with impact and recovery, including direct allocations to all counties in North Carolina.
