How dispute over raising the U.S. debt limit could reduce spending of some coronavirus relief funds

Fri, 2023-05-26 11:41 — mike kraft

The Congressional Budget Office estimates that $30 billion of “unobligated” pandemic funds could be canceled as part of a debt-limit deal. That could include leftover funds for vaccines, public health initiatives and a program that provides wireless internet access for students. But the Treasury Department says the cuts would have little effect on $350 billion of aid for state and local governments.
