How to find award data by pandemic legislation.

As pandemic legislation was passed, starting with the CARES Act in March 2020, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) assigned a code to identify each of the six laws.

Many of the codes were further refined through the description of the code, as "Emergency" or "Non-emergency."
