Scope of Work
This funding is made available under section 601(a) of the Social Security Act, as added by section 5001
of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") and Section V and VI of the
CARES Act, for costs incurred due to the public health emergency with respect to the Coronavirus Disease
2019 (COVID-19). Under the CARES Act, the Coronavirus Relief Fund may be used to cover costs that:
1. Are necessary expenditures incurred due to the public health emergency with respect to the
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19); AND
2. Are not accounted for in the budget most recently approved as of March 27, 2020 (the date
of enactment of the CARES Act) for the State or government.
These funds may be used to reimburse for expenditures incurred during the period of March 1, 2020 thru
Oct. 31, 2020. Please note: In order to ensure all funds have been fully utilized prior to the US
Treasury's December 30, 2020 end date, the State of Washington must closeout contracts by October
31, 2020. All final requests for reimbursement must be received no later than November 15, 2020.
Expenditures must be used for necessary actions taken to respond to the public health emergency. These
may include expenditures incurred to allow the local government to respond directly to the emergency, such
as by addressing medical or public health needs, as well as expenditures incurred to respond to second -
order effects of the emergency, such as by providing economic support to those suffering from employment
or business interruptions due to COVID-19-related business closures.
Funds may not be used to fill shortfalls in government revenue to cover expenditures that would not
otherwise qualify under the statute. Although a broad range of uses is allowed, revenue replacement is not
a permissible use of Fund payments.
Payments may be used only to cover costs not accounted for in the budget most recently approved as of
March 27, 2020. A cost meets this requirement if either:
1. The cost cannot lawfully be funded using aline item, allotment, or allocation within that budget; OR
2. The cost is for a substantially different use from any expected use of funds in such a line item,
allotment, or allocation.
The "most recently approved" budget is the enacted budget for the relevant fiscal period for the particular
government. A cost is not considered to have been accounted for in a budget merely because it could be
met using a budgetary stabilization fund, rainy day fund, or similar reserve account.
Allowable expenditures include, but are not limited to:
Medical expenses such as:
a. COVID-19-related expenses of public hospitals, clinics, and similar facilities.
b. Expenses of establishing temporary public medical facilities and other measures to increase
COVID-19 treatment capacity, including related construction costs.
c. Costs of providing COVID-19 testing, including serological testing.
d. Emergency medical response expenses, including emergency medical transportation, related
to COVID-19.
e. Expenses for establishing and operating public telemedicine capabilities for COVID-19-related
treatment.
2. Public health expenses such as:

social workers, child protection services, and child welfare officers, direct service providers for

safety workers in connection with the COVID-19 public health emergency.
c. Expenses for disinfection of public areas and other facilities, e.g., nursing homes, in response
to the COVID-19 public health emergency.
d. Expenses for technical assistance to local authorities or other entities on mitigation of COVID-
19-related threats to public health and safety.

f. Expenses for quarantining individuals.
3. Payroll expenses for public safety, public health, health care, human services, and similar

19 public health emergency.

with school closings to enable compliance with COVID-19 precautions.

to sanitation and improvement of social distancing measures, to enable compliance with
COVID-19 public health precautions.
f. Expenses for care for homeless populations provided to mitigate COVID-19 effects and enable
compliance with COVID-19 public health precautions.
Expenses associated with the provision of economic support in connection with the COVID-19
public health emergency, such as:
a. Expenditures related to the provision of grants to small businesses to reimburse the costs of
business interruption caused by required closures.
b. Expenditures related to a State, territorial, local, or Tribal government payroll support program.
c. Unemployment insurance costs related to the COVID-19 public health emergency if such costs
will not be reimbursed by the federal government pursuant to the CARES Act or otherwise.
