COVID-19: Resources for Tracking Federal

Spending



May   27, 2020

Congress has responded to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic with various legislation
providing relief to individuals and families, state and local governments, businesses, health care
providers, and other entities.
This CRS Insight provides information on selected sources for tracking COVID-19 relief funding
provided through these bills.
For general information on resources for tracking federal funds, see CRS Report R44027, Tracking
Federal Awards: USAspending.gov and Other Data Sources, by Jennifer Teefy.


Consolidated Data on COVID-19 Federal Funding

USAspending.gov
According to an Office of Management and Budget memorandum (April 10, 2020), there are plans to
identify COVID-19-related federal awards linked to specific funding legislation in the Treasury database
USAspending.gov, beginning with the June 2020 reporting period. USAspending.gov tracks federal
contract and grant awards and other federal spending at the state, congressional district, and local levels.
For more information, see CRS In Focus IF 10231, Tracking Federal Awards in States and Congressional
Districts Using USAspending.gov, by Jennifer Teefy.

Pandemic   Response  Accountability  Committee
The Pandemic Response Accountability Committee (PRAC), a new federal entity created by the CARES
Act (P.L. 116-136)-one of the funding bills referenced above-is to publish COVID-19 federal
assistance, grant, and contract awards data at state and congressional district levels as it becomes
available. The PRAC website is integrated with the Council of Inspectors General on Integrity and
Efficiency's (CIGIE's) website, the oversight and coordination body for the federal inspector general
community. For more information, see CRS Insight IN11343, The Pandemic Response Accountability
Committee: Organization and Duties, by Ben Wilhelm.
