Trump administration looks to claw back $11.4 billion in COVID funding from state and local health departments

Quick Summary:

Lori Freeman, CEO of the National Association of County & City Health Officials, said much of the funding was set to end soon anyway.

The statement said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention expects to recover the money beginning 30 days after termination notices, which began being sent out on Monday.

Under both the first Trump administration and the Biden administration, billions of dollars was allocated for COVID response through legislation, including a COVID relief bill and the American Rescue Plan Act.
