RECOVER Act

HR 745 (the RECOVER Act) redirects unobligated funds from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARP) to provide Child Opportunity Scholarships for low-income students. It allows states to use leftover ARP funds for direct financial assistance to parents/guardians of eligible students (in households earning ≤300% of the federal poverty level) to cover specific educational expenses. Key provisions include funding for tutoring, curriculum materials, private school tuition, technology, and therapies for students with disabilities. The bill modifies existing ARP provisions to enable this scholarship program without creating new funding.
