Biden administration threatens to claw back Covid funds from Arizona over school anti-mask policies
Key Points
The Biden administration threatened to rescind millions of dollars in federal coronavirus aid for Arizona, accusing the state of using the funds to undermining efforts to stop the spread of the virus.
Republican Gov. Doug Ducey’s office has 60 days to either make changes to two federally subsidized state school programs totaling $173 million, or redirect the money toward “eligible uses,” the Treasury Department said in a letter.
If Arizona fails or refuses to comply with its demands, the Biden administration may claw back that stimulus money and withhold a second tranche of pandemic relief funding, Treasury said.
