  • Our State Is Anticipated to Receive More Than $50 Billion
    �am:ll Jiln.si jpiahr of tlri �nu.st February 11, 2021 Dear New York Colleagues: Thank you for your letter, dated February 9, regarding the urgent need forpandemic relief for the people of New York and for all Americans. We sadly observe over 1.5 million coronavirus cases, nearly 45,000 deaths, and hundreds of thousands of job losses in New York. Please know that your concerns are being addressed in ways that you have advanced and with the enthusiastic advocacy of Leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. The Committees are marking up and the House wiU pass by the end of the month the President Bi den's American Rescue Plan, which takes a giant step forward for New Yorkers to put money in people's pockets, vaccines in people's arms, children back in school and more people back to work. Overall, New York State will receive over $50 billion in state and local funding, and more than $20 billion in additional funding to support families' health, financial security and well-being. In addition to the more than $70 billion for the New York public sectors and families, the legislation also ensures New York will receive its portion of the billions allocated for public health funding. The Bi den plan includes $50 billion for testing, $8 billion for public health workforce and $20 billion for vaccine distribution. We expect a significant portion of those funds will be distributed directly to state and local health departments. These funds will be used to ensure that New Yorkers can return to work safely, reopen businesses and provide the care necessary to keep its citizens out of hospitals and clinics.
