American Rescue Plan Act of 2021

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 is a law that was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Biden in March 2021. It's designed to help Americans affected by the Coronavirus pandemic. It gives money to people and families, schools, and businesses so they have money to pay for things like food, rent, and bills. The money also helps people find jobs, get healthcare, and pay for child care expenses. It also helps state and local governments keep essential services like schools and hospitals running.
