This document was created to highlight the applicable high-level rules, considerations, and guidance from the U.S. Department of Treasury's Interim Final Rule. This brief walks through the material in the same order as it is presented in the Interim Rule.
Eligible uses of these funds were pulled from the Interim Final Rule and categorized in an 'Allowable Use Matrix'. Please note that portions of the Interim Final Rule do not provide specific examples or offer vague guidance and details. In the instances where no precise examples were provided, or vague direction was given, the guidance language section of the Allowable Use Matrix was left 'blank’.
