DOL - ETA Information Related to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 Overview of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act)
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) was signed into law by President Obama on February 17th, 2009. It is an unprecedented effort to jumpstart our economy, create or save millions of jobs, and put a down payment on addressing long-neglected challenges so our country can thrive in the 21st century. The Act is an extraordinary response to a crisis unlike any since the Great Depression, and includes measures to modernize our nation's infrastructure, enhance energy independence, expand educational opportunities, preserve and improve affordable health care, provide tax relief, and protect those in greatest need.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act made a total of $7 billion available in UI Modernization incentive payments to states that include certain eligibility provisions in their state UI programs. Each state can qualify for a share of those funds by showing that its law includes certain provisions. Information on approved applications is available below and information on qualifying may be found at http://wdr.doleta.gov/directives/corr_doc.cfm?DOCN=2715.
As Recovery Act funding is received and spent, progress reports will be posted here as well as on www.Recovery.gov.
