Bill overview
This bill, the Stop Disincentivizing Work Act, aims to restrict how federal COVID-19 relief funds are spent. Specifically, it prohibits the use of money from several key COVID-19 relief acts – including the CARES Act and the American Rescue Plan – for recurring cash assistance programs like unemployment benefits or other forms of ongoing financial aid to individuals and families. The goal is to encourage recipients to return to work by limiting the availability of these benefits. This legislation seeks to refocus federal aid towards supporting workforce participation.
