H.R. 1319 — American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA)
Official title: American Rescue Plan Act of 2021
The pandemic-relief law of early 2021, enacted by reconciliation: one-time appropriations written directly into the statute. Its most famous pieces — the $1,400 checks, the expanded unemployment benefits and the Child Tax Credit — are tax-and-formula provisions with no dollar line in the bill text.
What the tracked text contains
Of the money itself: $912.2B across 34 tracked line-items — community & regional development ($405.0B, 44%), education ($162.4B, 18%) and health ($101.2B, 11%) lead; 7 smaller categories carry the rest. The largest single line: $219,800,000,000 for Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Fund — aid to States, DC, territories, Tribes. Beyond the cash, the text also sets $279.4B of set-asides (already counted above) — disclosed beside the total, never summed into it.
If the title matched the money, it would be the “State and Local Government Aid, Schools and Health Act of 2021”.

Where the money goes
$912.2B across 34 tracked items · compare against another law →This pie is the non-overlapping appropriations written into ARPA's text. Its largest dollar impacts are not in it: the $1,400 recovery rebates, expanded unemployment benefits, the expanded Child Tax Credit and expanded ACA premium subsidies are tax-credit and formula provisions with no “$X for Y” line in the bill text, so they are described in the record and not extracted.
The largest verified line-items. This pie breaks down the biggest spending items in the bill — appropriations and mandatory (direct) spending — by category. Every dollar is quoted from the text; click any slice to read them. It is not necessarily every dollar in the bill, and the gaps are not always small ones — where an account was left out, How this was built at the foot of this page says so and why, and a large omission can change which category ranks first. Figures that aren’t spending — authorizations, guarantee ceilings, pay-fors, and carve-outs already counted — are deliberately left out and disclosed below.
The money map
blocks sized by dollars — open one for the law’s own wordsArea is dollars. Each block is one category of tracked spending in H.R. 1319, sized by its share of the $912.2B this page tracks. Open a block and it lists the line-items inside it, each with the passage of the enacted text that carries the dollar figure, quoted word for word, and the section it sits in. Category names are the extraction’s own labels, printed as they come — nothing here calls a category worthwhile or wasteful. The quote is the argument.
This map divides the same tracked total the pie above divides — money the text writes as exact dollar lines. It is not the bill’s total fiscal effect: what the extraction leaves out is stated above the pie and in How this was built at the foot of this page, and the dollars deliberately kept out of the count are listed under the map.
2 of the 10 blocks are too small to carry a label without overprinting themselves, so they are drawn blank — every category is named, with its figures, in the rows and the table below.

What’s in this bill
every mechanism we could extract, at one scaleA law can move money four different ways, and only one of them is cash. This compares what H.R. 1319 actually spends against what it authorizes, caps, guarantees or pays for. Every bar is a sample. Each one sums the tracked line-items in that mechanism — the largest figures that appear in the text as an exact dollar string — so a bar is a floor, not a mechanism total, and on some laws it is a small fraction of one. Each bar carries its item count and, where the items carry years, the span it covers and where those years came from.
These bars are not added together. Only the top bar is money leaving the Treasury. The rest are ceilings, borrowing limits, carve-outs of money already counted above, or pay-fors — summing them would count the same dollars twice and treat permission to spend as spending. How this was built says what each extraction left out.
What CBO says it does to the deficit
verified estimate, quoted with its basisCBO put its deficit increase at about $1.8 trillion over 2021–2031 (mandatory spending and revenue effects, per CBO's compilation of laws enacted in the first session of the 117th Congress.)

The terms on this page, in plain English
What these things actually are — and what this bill does to each of them. Written for readers, not staffers; every figure in the “in this bill” lines appears elsewhere on this page.
Mandatory vs. discretionary spending
Discretionary money must be re-approved every year in appropriations bills — if Congress does nothing, it stops. Mandatory (also called direct) spending is written into permanent law and flows automatically until Congress changes the law itself. Benefit programs mostly work the mandatory way, which is why they don't show up in the yearly funding fights.
Reconciliation
A Senate fast lane for budget legislation: bills passed this way need 51 votes instead of the usual 60, but everything in them must be budgetary — spending, revenue, the debt limit. Laws passed by reconciliation write their spending directly into the legal text as mandatory money, rather than routing it through the yearly appropriations process.
In this bill: This law passed the Senate by this route — its appropriations are one-time sums written straight into the statute.
Set-aside (carve-out)
A floor inside money already counted: “of the amounts above, at least $X shall go to Y.” It steers the money rather than adding to it — counting a carve-out again would double-count — so it is disclosed beside the total, never summed into it.
In this bill: The $279 billion of set-asides here are mostly the rules inside the state and local aid: how much of the recovery funds is reserved for states versus cities, counties and tribes.
State & Local Fiscal Recovery Funds
Direct pandemic-era aid checks to every state, city, county, territory and tribe — flexible money to patch budgets, keep services running and cover COVID costs, with broad discretion over the details.
In this bill: The single biggest thing in this law: $219.8 billion to states and $130.2 billion to local governments — over a third of everything tracked on this page.
What it should actually be called
“The Great State-and-City Rescue Check Act”
Light-hearted, but earned — every word of it is accounted for in the figures and terms above.

“Did not vote” is not the same as “absent.” The record distinguishes Present — there, and formally declining to take a side — from Not Voting, where no vote was cast. That is usually absence, but the roll call does not say so, so this table does not either.
Did not vote (2): Dan Sullivan (R-AK), Thomas P. Tiffany (R-WI).
A member is recorded as not voting for many ordinary reasons — illness, a death in the family, official travel, or a paired vote arranged with a colleague on the other side. The roll call gives no reason, so neither does this page, and nothing here is counted against anyone’s grade. This site tracks a small number of major bills, so a single absence is a large share of what is shown here and a very small share of the hundreds of votes a member actually casts.
These tallies count the 364 members sitting today who have a recorded position, not the historical result. Several of these bills passed in earlier Congresses, and members who have since left are not in the roster — so the totals here are smaller than the 435 + 100 that voted at the time. Where both chambers held a recorded vote, a member is grouped by the chamber they sit in now; anyone who has switched chambers since then appears in their current row.
Set-asides (already counted above) — $279.4B

How this was built
Fetched the enrolled XML with python3 requests; extracted faithful text via ElementTree itertext join; located each 'there is appropriated ... $X' top-level line by section, then re-verified every dollar string and <=15-word quote as an exact substring of that text. 39 of 39 sampled figures were re-located as exact strings in the source text. Source: GovInfo enrolled bill text. Full bill text.
Extraction notes (technical)
ARPA is a budget-RECONCILIATION law: its spending lines read 'In addition to amounts otherwise available, there is appropriated ... out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, $X' -- one-time appropriations made directly in the statute (CBO scores them as mandatory/direct spending). Per the operative-verb test they are tagged 'appropriation' here; appropriated_total sums only the 34 NON-OVERLAPPING top-level lines (=$912,178,725,534 after the verifier added 5 missed appropriations: airports $8B, vaccine/therapeutics supply chain $6.05B, Emergency Housing Vouchers $5B, HOME-ARP homelessness $5B, EDA economic adjustment $3B). The last 5 line_items are named 'shall reserve $X' CARVE-OUTS that sit INSIDE a parent appropriation (States/DC $195.3B, Tribes $20B, territories $4.5B inside the $219.8B Sec.602 fund; metropolitan cities $45.57B inside the $130.2B Sec.603 fund; air carriers $14B inside the $15B Sec.7301 fund); they are tagged 'set_aside' (corrected by final audit; were mis-tagged 'direct_spending') and are EXCLUDED from the pie to avoid double-counting -- they are the per-recipient money-quotes, disclosed but not additive. ARPA's largest dollar impacts are NOT in the operative text as '$X for Y' lines and are therefore NOT extracted here: the $1,400 recovery rebates (~$410B), extended/expanded unemployment (+$300/wk, ~$200B+), the expanded Child Tax Credit (~$88B) and EITC, and expanded ACA premium subsidies -- these are tax-credit/formula provisions whose figures live in the CBO/JCT cost estimate for P.L. 117-2, not the bill text. Sec. 10003 ($8.675B) uses the hybrid phrase 'there is authorized and appropriated'; classified as appropriation on the 'appropriated' verb. The State/Local Fiscal Recovery, Capital Projects, Tribal Consistency, and provider-relief funds are added as new sections (602-605, 1150C) to the Social Security Act by Sec. 9901/9911 in Title IX (Finance).
How this lands in a state
three layers, in order: reported, read, shownPick a state and this section gives you three different things, and keeps them apart. First, what the government itself reports — obligations Treasury tags to this law, where such a tag exists. Second, an AI assessment written from this page’s verified record and that state’s published statistics, and checked against both before it was published here. Third, the state’s own numbers — the same rows the assessment was given, with their sources and vintages, so you can check the reading against the record it came from. Every state is treated identically.
1. What the government reports
obligations tagged to this public lawTreasury tags money to a public law with a Disaster Emergency Fund Code. Treasury's Disaster Emergency Fund Codes V tag money provided by P.L. 117-2 and no other law. Summing the DEFC-apportioned column of the Account Breakdown by Award by place of performance is the only per-state figure this law supports. Across the whole country that comes to $821,767,553,686 over 1,288,539 award rows, covering fiscal years 2021–2026.
Choose a state above to see its figure, its fiscal-year split and its largest recipients.
What this figure is, and is not
- Obligations, not outlays. Obligations are money the government is legally bound to pay. They are not outlays -- money that has actually left the Treasury -- which lag obligations, often by years on construction. A figure here is what has been committed in that state, not what has been spent there.
- No claim about what it produced. These are obligations recorded against a law. Nothing here shows what any of it produced. Money was obligated; whether any outcome followed is a separate question this data does not answer.
- Place of performance is a choice, and it was measured. State here is the award's PRIMARY PLACE OF PERFORMANCE, not the recipient's mailing address. The share above is the fraction of dollars sitting in rows where the two disagree -- the size of the choice, measured rather than assumed. For ARPA that share is 1.2% of dollars.
- Fiscal years covered. Covers FY2021 through FY2026. FY2026 is PARTIAL -- only periods 1-9 are certified, so it is not a full year and the law's running total is still rising.
- The states do not sum to the national total. $67,130,757,479 across 7,551 rows sits in no state. Rows whose primary place of performance is blank or is not a state or territory (foreign locations among them). They are in the national total and in no state's. The picker above covers the 50 states; the District of Columbia and the territories also carry obligations under this law and are counted in the national figure.
- Against the bill’s own text. This page verifies $912,178,725,534 of appropriations line by line in the enrolled text of H.R. 1319. Reported DEFC-tagged obligations come to $821,767,553,686, which is 90% of the $912,178,725,534 of appropriations verified line by line in the enrolled bill text. THIS RATIO IS NOT A COMPLETION RATE, and the two figures are not the same quantity: the denominator counts dollars APPROPRIATED IN THE TEXT OF THE LAW, the numerator counts dollars OBLIGATED under any budget authority the law provided. For ARPA the numerator is the smaller of the two. Two different things sit in that gap and this file does not attempt to split them: money that never takes the form of an award and so can carry no place of performance -- the recovery rebates and expanded tax credits went out through the tax system -- and money appropriated but not yet obligated. Read the figure as the share of the law that is traceable to a place, not as the share that has been spent.
- Source. USAspending.gov Account Breakdown by Award (File C). transaction_obligated_amount in File C is the share of an award apportioned to one Disaster Emergency Fund Code, which is how money is traced back to the public law that provided it. Summing it by place of performance is the only per-state figure these laws support.
The route we refuse to take, and why (technical)
USAspending's award SEARCH endpoints accept the same def_codes filter but select AWARDS, not DOLLARS: they return an award's entire obligation if any part of it touched the law's money. That route reported a single Sandia National Laboratories contract as $42.8B of IIJA money in New Mexico against a true DEFC-apportioned $64.5M, and overstated ARPA nationally by about 80%. It is not used here and must not be.
2. The assessment
AI-written, checked before publication — not the site’s voiceClaude (an AI model) read H.R. 1319’s verified line items and their quoted statutory text against each state’s published statistics, and reported how much of the law turns on anything measured there. Every reading was generated and checked before this page was published — against the same two records, by the same check the site applies — and one that failed the check was discarded rather than shown to anyone. It is not this site’s editorial voice. It is not a prediction and it is not advice. Every figure in it traces to the record below, and every provision it names carries statutory language quoted word for word. If it ever disagrees with a number on this page, the page is right. “Little connection” is a normal and expected answer.
