Bill overview
This bill, the Returning Unspent COVID Funds Act, aims to reduce the national debt by rescinding funds that were originally allocated to address the COVID-19 pandemic but haven’t been spent. Specifically, it targets unobligated funds from several key COVID-19 relief packages, including the American Rescue Plan, the CARES Act, and others. The bill allows the President to temporarily exempt certain programs from the rescission if they submit a waiver to Congress. All rescinded funds will then be used to lower the federal deficit.
