State update on CARES funding investments

October 21, 2020

Gov. Tony Evers provided Tuesday, Oct. 20, an updated accounting of federal funds invested in public health, emergency response efforts and economic stabilization in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As of Oct. 9, the state has expended $476 million and obligated an additional $479 million of its funding through the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act.

The Evers administration has plans on how to spend an additional $919.1 million. The state still retains roughly $120 million to ensure flexibility as emerging needs arise.

Additional information on these efforts is available on Wisconsin’s COVID-19 Response and Recovery Investment dashboard website.
