Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act: CRS Experts

Summary

The following two tables provide points of contact for CRS’s congressional clients with specific questions regarding the particular authorities and appropriations in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act; P.L. 116-136). This report is intended as a companion to other CRS products on the COVID-19 response efforts, many of which can be found on the CRS Coronavirus Disease 2019 resource page.

Separate tables are provided for each division of the CARES Act: Division A, which includes significant expansions in small business lending, unemployment insurance, tax relief to individuals and employers, and economic stabilization fund, among other measures, as well as some direct appropriations; and Division B, which is a more traditionally structured $340 billion emergency supplemental appropriations measure. The topics are arranged in the order they arise in the bill to ease client searching. After the topic, a cross-reference to a CRS product may be listed to provide context for the programs or activity, followed by the name of the relevant CRS contact, and email address. Phone numbers are not listed at this time due to the impact of remote work on CRS operations. Please note that some points of contact cover multiple accounts or programs.
