Treasury Launches Web Portal and Begins Disbursement of
CARES Act Funding to State, Local, and Tribal Governments
April 13, 2020

WASHINGTON – Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury launched a web portal to allow
eligible State, local, and tribal governments to receive payments to help offset the costs of their
response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Once registered through this portal, States, territories, and the District of Columbia will receive
promptly half of the funds allocated to them pursuant to the CARES Act. This will fast-track the
availability of $71 billion to meet immediate cash flow needs. The remaining balance of the
payment amounts due to States, eligible local governments, and tribal governments will be paid
no later than April 24, 2020.
“Our State, local, and tribal partners across the country are facing unique challenges as they
navigate the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic,” said Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin.
“As part of our whole-of-government approach, we have moved with unprecedented speed to
get these funds to those who need them a week ahead of schedule.”
Additional details regarding this program can be found at Treasury.gov/CARES. Eligible
governments should expect the funds to arrive in the account they designate in as little as
24 hours a er providing the required information in the web portal.
