Congress agreed in March to disburse $150 billion in state and local aid, but of the $139 billion that has been paid out to this point, roughly $34 billion has been utilized for costs incurred, according to the Treasury report.

While Treasury's numbers reveal that a large chunk of money remains unspent, counties, states and cities have argued for weeks that part of the reason for that is they don't have flexibility to spend it how they need to to keep from slashing budgets.
