Agency Reported Data

There are several ways for you to follow Recovery money disbursed by the federal agencies. The Financial and Activity Reports that each federal agency must submit on a weekly basis provide one option. These reports outline:

  • The amount of Recovery funds that the agencies have made available and have paid out to the states
  • The types of awards--contract, grant, or loan, and
  • The specific agency activities for the week and future plans.

The agencies also are required to issue financial reports called Funding Notifications detailing the amount of Recovery funds allocated to each state through individual agency programs.

In addition, the agencies issue annual plans on how they intend to use Recovery funds, including details of programs receiving Recovery money.
