Update: COVID-Related State & Local Aid Will Total $280 Billion

Most state and local governments are experiencing substantial revenue losses and new spending needs as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and economic crisis. While estimates differ on the magnitude of state and localneeds, federal funding from recent COVID-relief legislation may help defray some of these losses.

We estimate that lawmakers have allowed nearly $500 billion of COVID relief to be disbursed to state and local governments, of which we classify around $280 billion of these funds as state and local aid — down from $360 billion in our prior estimates. Roughly three quarters of that relief, over $210 billion, has been committed or disbursed to date.
