    Greg Cook on the Recovery Act ...


    The Recovery Act was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Obama on February 17, 2009. The purpose of the $787 billion Recovery package is to jump-start the economy to create and save jobs. The Act specifies appropriations for a wide range of federal programs, and increases or extends certain benefits under Medicaid, unemployment compensation, and nutrition assistance programs. The legislation also reduces individual and corporate income tax collections (to an extent), and makes a variety of other changes to tax laws.

    dollars

    This Act will have far reaching consequences and we will be dealing with it for years to come (at least until 2018). Twenty-eight different agencies � such as the Departments of Education; Health and Human Services; and Energy � have been allocated a portion of the $787 billion in Recovery funds. Each agency develops specific plans for how it will spend its Recovery Act funds. The agencies then award grants and contracts to state governments or, in some cases, directly to schools, hospitals, contractors, or other organizations. The agencies are required to file weekly financial reports on how they are spending the money and their specific activities related to Recovery funds.
