Frequently Asked Questions: Emergency Assistance to Non-Public Schools (EANS) Program as Authorized by the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021 (CRRSA Act). Updated
Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, US Department of Education
The purpose of this document is to answer Frequently Asked Questions related to the Emergency Assistance to Non-Public Schools (EANS) program under the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021 (CRRSA Act), Pub. L. No. 116-260 (December 27, 2020). Congress authorized the EANS program as part of the CRRSA Act's Governor's Emergency Education Relief Fund (GEER II Fund). The U.S. Department of Education (Department) awarded a portion of the GEER Fund under the CRRSA Act to Governors as a supplement to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act's GEER Fund (Pub. L. No. 116-260 (March 27, 2020)). This document refers to the funds awarded as a supplement to the CARES Act GEER Fund awards as the GEER II Fund. GEER II supplemental funding will appear in the Department's grants management system (G5) without any additional paperwork required for States with approved CARES Act GEER Fund applications. The Department initially issued guidance on the EANS program on January 15, 2021. This document updates, and supersedes, that guidance. Other than statutory and regulatory requirements included in the document (such as those pursuant to the authorizing statute and other applicable laws and regulations), the contents of the guidance do not have the force and effect of law and are not meant to bind the public in any way. This document is intended only to provide clarity to the public regarding existing requirements under the law or agency policies.
