ARPA-SLFRF – Second Tranche Payment Distribution

​May 26, 2022

To: Municipal and County Clerks, Treasurers and Heads of Government


The Wisconsin Department of Revenue (DOR), on behalf of the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury), will distribute the second tranche payment of American Rescue Plan Act – State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (ARPA-SLFRF) to non-entitlement units of government (NEUs) in June 2022.

Payment details

  • Municipalities (NEUs) do not need to take any action to receive their second payment
  • 1,824 municipalities are eligible to receive funds – view 2022 allocation report for details
  • Municipalities will receive funds in the same account used for shared revenue – this could be ACH, LGIP or check based on information provided by the municipality

General reminders

  • Allocate ARPA funds by 2024 – use funds by 2026
  • Consider regional initiatives, including partnering with other ARPA recipients
  • Investment in critical infrastructure is a particularly well​-suited use of ARPA funds because it is a non-recurring expenditure that can be targeted to long-term assets that provide benefits over many years
  • If you haven't completed your Project and Expenditure Report – due April 30, 2022 – contact Treasury/DOR for help
