- Section 605 of the Social Security Act (the Act), as added by section 9901 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, Pub. L. No. 117-2 (Mar. 11, 2021), established the Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Fund (LATCF). The LATCF provides $2 billion in total funding for payment by Treasury to eligible revenue sharing counties and eligible Tribal governments across fiscal years 2022 and 2023. Section 103 of Division LL of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, amended section 605 of the Social Security Act and made additional funding available across fiscal years 2023 and 2024 for payments to eligible revenue sharing consolidated governments. Under the LATCF program, eligible revenue sharing counties, eligible revenue sharing consolidated governments, and eligible Tribal governments may use funds provided under a payment made under this program for any governmental purpose other than a lobbying activity.

How to read these numbers
- Committed through this program
Money committed under this assistance listing (its CFDA program), counted in the year each action happened.
- How it's paid
Most programs pay out one way — a grant, or a direct payment to individuals; the flow bar only appears when a program genuinely mixes types.
- Some recipients aren't itemized
For entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, the government reports one aggregate instead of naming tens of millions of people, so the recipient roster isn't part of the public record.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
