USA FIRST Act

This bill mandates the transfer of all unobligated funds from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to the Disaster Relief Fund . The legislation specifies that these transferred funds are to be utilized for carrying out the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, particularly in response to major disasters . The "covered funds" subject to this transfer include any funds previously appropriated to USAID that remain unobligated as of the bill's enactment date. This measure, also known as the "USA FIRST Act," seeks to redirect existing federal resources from international aid programs to enhance domestic emergency response and recovery capabilities.
