The Commonwealth of Massachusetts publishes a detailed, updated list of all Covid relief funds (not just ARPA) received by communities. If you are bargaining or discussing the application of these funds, it is easy to determine how much was allocated and claimed by your community.
The link below takes you to the Mass.gov site, which has an updated list of every city and town, and all the funds. There are two that are of particular importance:
- Coronavirus Relief Fund - Municipal Program (coded on the list as CvRf); and
- Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery (coded as CLFRF) - this is the ARPA funding, under which premium pay is an authorized use (American Recovery Plan Act).
So, in order to determine your communities' funding, just click the link, then scroll down to your city or town. Then, as you move to the right, looking under the columns with the above codes as headings, you can easily identify how much was allocated and how much has been claimed for each source of funds.
For example, as of today, the Town of Acton (the list is alphabetical), has received the following:
- $2,092,925 (Code CvRf-MP); and also received
- $7,072,733 (amt. allocated) (Code CLFRF - this is the ARPA funding)
- $3,536,367 (amt. claimed) (Code CLRF)
