Executive Order 14002 of January 22, 2021
Economic Relief Related to the COVID–19 Pandemic
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the
laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Background. The pandemic caused by the coronavirus disease
2019 (COVID–19) has led to an economic crisis marked by the closure
of small businesses, job loss, food and housing insecurity, and increased
challenges for working families balancing jobs and caregiving responsibilities.
The current economic crisis has affected Americans throughout the Nation,
but it is particularly dire in communities of color. The problems are exacer-
bated because State and local governments are being forced to consider
steep cuts to critical programs to address revenue shortfalls the pandemic
has caused. In addition, many individuals, families, and small businesses
have had difficulties navigating relief programs with varying eligibility re-
quirements, and some are not receiving the intended assistance. The eco-
nomic crisis resulting from the pandemic must be met by the full resources
of the Federal Government.
Sec. 2. Providing Relief to Individuals, Families, and Small Businesses;
and to State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial Governments. (a) All executive
departments and agencies (agencies) shall promptly identify actions they
can take within existing authorities to address the current economic crisis
resulting from the pandemic. Agencies should specifically consider actions
that facilitate better use of data and other means to improve access to,
reduce unnecessary barriers to, and improve coordination among programs
funded in whole or in part by the Federal Government.
(b) Agencies should take the actions identified in subsection (a) of this
section, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, and in doing
so should prioritize actions that provide the greatest relief to individuals,
families, and small businesses; and to State, local, Tribal, and territorial
governments.
(c) Independent agencies, as enumerated in 44 U.S.C. 3502(5), are strongly
encouraged to comply with this section.
Sec. 3. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed
to impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency,
or the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and
subject to the availability of appropriations.
