About half of the tax relief total is the high-profile, $116 billion Making Work Pay tax credit that began appearing in workers’ paychecks on April 1. For most working individuals, the credit is being paid through the end of 2010 at roughly $15 per period, assuming 26 pay periods in a year.
And the bulk of retirees, disabled individuals and others who don’t work have already received thier $250 one-time payments, a plan estimated to cost $14.2 billion.
Also included in the tax relief tranche are some “protecting the vulnerable” measures, such as a $25 billion program to cut Cobra health insurance premiums by 65% for workers laid off between Sept. 1, 2008, and Dec. 31, 2009.
State and local fiscal relief: $144 billion. Just over half, $74 billion, of the state and local fiscal relief allotment has been made available to help state and local governments balance their budgets.
The bulk of this relief is $81 billion in Medicaid grants to states to help defer costs of an increasing number of unemployed Americans seeking Medicaid assistance. Of the $81 billion, $34 billion has been obligated and $24.5 billion of that has been sent to states.
States have also been allocated $34 billion to balance budgets for public school expenses, $9 billion of which has been paid out so far. The Health Department has also made available $2 billion in child care grants, $72 million of which have been paid out.
Protecting the vulnerable: $81 billion. Just less than half — $46%, or $37 billion — of these funds have been made available.
Nearly $16 billion of the $36 billion unemployment benefit extension program are available now, and $10 billion has been spent. The program increased benefits by $25 per week and extended the deadline for when jobless workers can sign up for an additional 20-33 weeks of unemployment benefits.
About $3.2 billion of the $19.9 billion in increased food stamp benefits have gone out to low-income Americans. The program increases food stamp payments by 13.6% over two years. Of the $3.2 billion, $2.8 billion has been spent.
And almost the entirety of a $150 million program to restock food banks has been made available. The Commodity Assistance Program, which sends shipments of federally purchased food to states, which in turn gets the food in the hands of large food banks, has seen $130 million obligated and $106 million spent so far.
Infrastructure and the economy: $274 billion. About $76 billion, or 27%, of these projects have been given funds, but just a fraction of them are actually under way.
The Transportation Department has been noticeably lagging, paying out just 3.5% of the $22.2 billion made available to it. Just $505 million of highway projects have received money, even though $17.2 billion of projects have been approved.
But the DOT claims that by Aug. 31, it will have 98 airport and 1,500 highway stimulus projects underway. This means construction will have started — not merely that a contract has been awarded.
Similarly, the bulk of approved energy projects have yet to start. Of $3.5 billion in energy efficiency and renewable energy programs, just $62 billion has been paid out. And $3.8 billion in environmental cleanup funds have been made available, but just $118 million has been spent.
