American Economic Recovery & Reinvestment Act
(Economic Stimulus)


The American Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Stimulus) was signed into law on February 17, 2009, by President Barack Obama. The stimulus package offers significant resources for individuals as well as increased funding for tribal programs. NCAI has created a brief overview of the stimulus benefits that will be offered to individuals for tax years 2009 and 2010. Native organizations may want to help get the word out to their communities about these individual benefits and refer them to thisbrief overview.
