Section 5001 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") established the $150 billion Coronavirus Relief Fund ("the Fund"). Eligible entities may use Fund payments to cover only those costs that: (1) are necessary expenditures incurred due to the public health emergency with respect to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID–19); (2) were not accounted for in the eligible entities’ most recently approved budget as of March 27, 2020; and (3) were incurred during the period that begins on March 1, 2020, and ends on December 30, 2020. Division N, Title X, Section 1001 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, (Pub. L. No.116-260), enacted on December 27, 2020, extended the period for which all recipients may incur eligible costs using payments from the Fund from December 30, 2020, to December 31, 2021.
