COVID-19: Resources for Tracking Federal

Spending



Updated July 31, 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 Insight provides selected sources for tracking COVID- 19 relief funding provided through these bills.
For a legislative summary of the enacted bills, and a broad discussion of both the discretionary and direct
spending measures provided by Congress, see CRS Report R46449, Tallying Federal Funding for
COVID-19: In Brief, by William L. Painter.For general information on resources for tracking federal
funds, see CRS Report R44027, Tracking Federal Awanis: USA spending.gov and Other Data Sources, by
Jennifer Teefy.


Consolidated Data on COVID-19 Funding

    *  UIISAspending.gov tracks federal contract and grant awards and other federal spending at
       the state, congressional district, and local levels. Beginning in July 2020, the database
       will feature new tools to search and display COVID- 19 spending data in accordance with
       an Office of Management and Budget memorandum. See CRS In Focus IF 10231,
       Tracking Federal Awais in States and Congressional Districts Using USA spending. gov,
       by Jennifer Teefy.
    *  Pandemic Response Accountability Committee (PRAC), a federal entity created by the
       Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic SecurityAct (CARES Act; P.L. 116136), is
       publishing updated COVID-19 federal as sistance and grant awards data at state and
       congressional district levels. Currently, PRAC provides data on COVID- 19-related
       contract awards from the General Services Administration's Federal Procurement Data
       System. These data are presented through interactive tools with filtering capabilities (e.g.,
       by state, county, and congressional district). The website also links to the Small Business
       Administration's Paycheck Protection Program data (discussed below). PRAC's website
       is integrated with the Council of Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency' s website,
       the federal inspector general community's oversight and coordination body. See CRS
