Navigating the Landscape of the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Under the American Rescue Plan Act

Webinar | 03.24.22, 10:00 AM EDT - 11:00 AM EDT

Join us for a webinar discussion of the U.S. Department of Treasury’s new final rule on the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). The final rule governs the state, local, and Tribal governments’ eligible uses of the $350 billion dollars of funds available under ARPA and imposes regulatory requirements on these recipients, which are flowed down to subrecipients and contractors. Our webinar will help contractors navigate the SLFRF, and cover the following key areas:

  • Eligible uses of the SLFRF and potential opportunities for contractors
  • Federal grant requirements 
  • Unique compliance and reporting requirements
  • Audits and enforcement

For more information, please visit these areas: Government Contracts , State and Local Practice
