• Is a local government assistance program which applies to all units of local government (as defined by the Illinois Constitution) outside of Cook, Lake, Will, Kane, & DuPage counties.
• Is federally funded from the Coronavirus Relief Fund using dollars allocated to Illinois through the CARES Act.
• Will reimburse units of local government for costs that:
  • are necessary expenditures incurred due to the public health emergency with respect to COVID-19;
  • were not accounted for in the budget most recently approved as of March 27, 2020 (the date of enactment of the CARES Act) for the unit of local government; and
  • were incurred during the period beginning March 1, 2020 and ending December 30, 2020.
