COVID-19: Resources for Tracking Federal

Spending



Updated June 22, 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 Awanis: USAspending.gov and Other Data Sources, by Jennifer Teefy.


Consolidated Data on COVID-19 Federal Funding


USAspending.gov

USAspending.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. For more information on USAspending.gov, see CRS In Focus IF10231, Tracking Federal
Awards in States and Congressional Districts Using USA spending.gov, by Jennifer Teefy.

Pan demic Response Accountability Committee

The Pandemic Response Accountability Committee (PRAC), a new federal entity created by the CARES
Act (PL. 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 they become
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.
