2021 Report

Note: The Recovery Plan Performance Report will provide the public and Treasury information on the 

projects that recipients are undertaking with program funding and how they are planning to ensure 

program outcomes are achieved in an effective, efficient, and equitable manner. While this template

includes the minimum requirements for the Recovery Plan, each recipient is encouraged to add 

information to the plan that they feel is appropriate to provide information to their constituents on efforts 

they are taking to respond to the pandemic and promote an equitable economic recovery. 

Each jurisdiction may determine the general form and content of the Recovery Plan, as long as it 

meets the reporting requirements, and recipients are encouraged to tailor this template to best meet 

their needs. Use of infographics, tables, charts, pictures, case studies, and other explanatory elements 

are encouraged.

GENERAL OVERVIEW

Executive Summary 

The State of South Dakota was allocated $974.5 million under the American Rescue Plan Act’s 

(ARPA) Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Fund program (CSFRF). The State of South Dakota 

received the first half of the CSFRF allocation on August 26, 2021. 

In addition to the CSFRF allocation, the State was also allocated $65.2 million under the 

American Rescue Plan Act’s (ARPA) Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery Fund program 

(CLFRF). The State of South Dakota received the first half of the CLFRF allocation on August 

26, 2021.

The State of South Dakota is responsible for distributing the CLFRF funds directly to the nonentitlement units of local government (NEUs). Award amounts are based on the population of 

the NEU.

The U.S. Treasury also determined that South Dakota was one of eight states with minor civil 

divisions that typically perform less of a governmental role. To determine eligibility of these

minor civil divisions, South Dakota performed a facts-and-circumstances test to determine 

whether the minor civil divisions have the legal and operational capacity to accept ARPA funds 

and provides a broad range of services that would constitute eligible uses under ARPA. The 

State of South Dakota has determined that townships in South Dakota do not meet the eligibility 

requirements for ARPA funds.
