American Relief Act

Key points about this legislation

• The bill provides stopgap appropriations so federal agencies and programs remain funded and operational until March 14, 2025. This includes extra amounts for national security priorities—like shipbuilding, cybersecurity, and emergency preparedness—and ensures uninterrupted government services.
• Substantial supplemental funding is designated to address natural disasters (such as hurricanes, wildfires, and floods) and support rebuilding efforts. This aid spans multiple agencies (e.g., USDA, FEMA, Corps of Engineers, NOAA) to assist affected communities, bolster agricultural programs, repair federal facilities, and strengthen critical infrastructure.
• The bill prolongs certain Medicare and telehealth flexibilities, extends funding for community health centers, expands diabetes prevention programs, and continues sexual risk avoidance education. It also renews important agricultural and nutrition programs—such as commodity, dairy, and conservation programs—thereby providing ongoing support to farmers and rural communities through 2025.
• No pork in this bill.
