The American Rescue Plan included $2 billion across federal fiscal years 2022 and 2023 to the LATCF program to provide payments to eligible revenue sharing counties and eligible Tribal governments for use on any governmental purpose except for a lobbying activity.
According to Treasury, 72 Kentucky counties are eligible to receive a total of $13.2 million in allocations in FY22 and FY23. Most Kentucky counties are eligible to receive $50,000 each year, but 25 counties (based on an allocation formula) are eligible to receive more, with some counties eligible to receive more than $250,000. Eligible counties received their first payment by January 2023.
Treasury has opened the portal for eligible counties to certify for their second payment.
To receive the second tranche payment, eligible counties should take the following steps:
- Verify the county has an active SAM.gov registration.
- Enter the Treasury Submission Portal by signing in to ID.me. The designated submitter entering the portal through ID.me for the second tranche submission will be the same individual registered with ID.me who completed the first tranche submission. If your county needs to change the designated submitter, email COVIDReliefITSupport@treasury.gov with the subject “Entity Name - Update to Designated Individuals.”
- Complete the LATCF second tranche submission for your government by following the step-by-step submission guide provided here: LATCF Second Tranche Submission Portal Instructions.
- Confirm your second tranche submission has a status of “Submitted.”
