Program objective

Section 605 of the Social Security Act (the Act), as added by section 9901 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, Pub. L. No. 117-2 (Mar. 11, 2021), established the Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Fund (LATCF). The LATCF provides $2 billion in total funding for payment by Treasury to eligible revenue sharing counties and eligible Tribal governments across fiscal years 2022 and 2023. Section 103 of Division LL of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, amended section 605 of the Social Security Act and made additional funding available across fiscal years 2023 and 2024 for payments to eligible revenue sharing consolidated governments. Under the LATCF program, eligible revenue sharing counties, eligible revenue sharing consolidated governments, and eligible Tribal governments may use funds provided under a payment made under this program for any governmental purpose other than a lobbying activity.
