| OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE | CONTACTS | STATE GOVERNMENT ARRA |

This is the State of Nebraska’s portal for informing citizens about federal funding received under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). This site provides accountability and transparency of these funds.

ARRA has involved more than 60 state-administered, federally-funded programs. As the funding draws to its conclusion, I invite you to continue to use this website to get information about these programs. Information on the site is updated when funding is received and expended for each project.

Thank you.

- Dave Heineman, Governor

Allocation of Federal Funds: $1.7 billion*

How to use this Website

The purpose of Recovery.Nebraska.gov is to list and describe all ARRA funding that is allocated to Nebraska, and especially to report expenditures of funds directly awarded to State government. It is not intended to emulate the federal government's reporting methodology or duplicate the administrative costs associated with operating the federal website, Recovery.gov. Note also that the federal government may be administering some ARRA programs directly, and these would not be accounted for by State government or identified on this website. Such grants can be viewed on Recovery.gov.

Nebraska organizes its ARRA funding into three major categories on this website: Infrastructure, Services, and Stabilization. The interactive bar graph to the left allows you to examine these categories and the federal programs grouped under them. Individual ARRA grants are also categorized accordingly for your review in the "ARRA Expenditures Summary." As these grant programs reach completion, this website will begin to streamline updates and information regarding the remaining available funding. Please sign up for our RSS feed, which will make it easy for you to track all the updates as they occur.

STATE ACCOUNTABILITY
	Recovery.Nebraska.gov strives to identify all ARRA funding that comes to Nebraska, regardless of the entity receiving those funds. However, only federal grants awarded directly to Nebraska State government are definitively identified and thoroughly reported on this website. The ARRA Expenditures Report summarizes federal allocations, grants awarded, and expenditures of State government. It corresponds with the categories—Stabilization, Infrastructure, and Services—by which ARRA funding is organized on this website. The report will be updated monthly.		ARRA requires most recipients of federal grants to submit a quarterly Section 1512 Report (1512 is a reference to the section of the law requiring the report). The federal government primarily uses the report to identify total to-date expenditures, infrastructure-related expenditures, large payments to individual vendors, and the number of jobs created or retained. Several Nebraska state agencies individually receive ARRA grants and must submit a Section 1512 Report for each. All of these reports are then summarized into one document for view on this website. Note that only grants administered by State government are included in the summary; and some ARRA grants are not listed because they do not require a Section 1512 Report.
