The American Rescue Plan: Impacts of Pennsylvania

The Need for Action in PA

The pandemic and the associated economic crisis have had a severe impact on Pennsylvania. The need for action is clear: 

  • Since the pandemic began, more than 948,643 people have been infected with COIVD-19, and more than 24,349 people have died. 
  • The unemployment rate is 7.1%, up from 5% before the pandemic. 
  • Since February 2020, more than 342,268 fewer people are employed.
  • 701,000 adults – 9% of all adults in the state – report not having enough food to eat. This includes 381,000 adults living with children, or 14% of all adults living with children, who report that the children in their household do not have enough to eat. 
  • An estimated 489,000 renters, or 20% of renters, are not caught up on rent. 
  • An estimated 2.747,000 adults or 30% of all adults statewide report having difficulty covering normal household expenses. 


The Effect of the American Rescue Plan on Pennsylvania

President Biden's American Rescue Plan will provide PA with: 

  • $7.4 billion in state fiscal relief 
  • $4.9 billion in local fiscal relief 
  • More than $5.1 billion in relief for K-12 schools 
  • Economic impact payments of up to $1,400 per person (above the $600 per person provided in December) for more than 8.1 million adults and 2.8 million children. This is 86% of all adults in the state and 84% of all children in the state. 
  • Additional relief of up to $1,600 per child through the Child Tax Credit to the families of 2,368,000 children, lifting 140,000 children out of poverty.
  • Additional relief of up to nearly $1,000 though the Earned Income Tax Credit to 700,000 childless workers, including many in frontline jobs.
  • Marketplace health insurance premium that are $1,402 lower per month for a 60-year old couple earning $75,000 per year.
