BIDEN BAILOUT BILL: STATE FUNDING FORMULA IMPACT

On page 287 of the House Democrats $1.9 trillion bailout package is a funding formula for how the
legislation would allocate direct funding to states. Previous, bipartisan, COVID-19 packages allocated
funding based on population. In their partisan $1.9 trillion bailout package, Democrats have changed
that formula by adding unemployment as a factor. The impact: those states run by the Democrat
majority’s political allies disproportionately benefit from an increase in funding.

The following chart displays how much each state is expected to gain or lose from adding unemployment
as a factor, instead of basing allocations purely on the share of U.S. population.
