In that case, the Department will award up to 90 percent of its total allocation in Phase 1. The Department will award the remaining portion of a State’s allocation in Phase 2.

By statute, the Department will award 81.8 percent of a State’s total Stabilization allocation under the Education Stabilization Fund and the remaining 18.2 percent of its allocation under the Government Services Fund. Governors will apply for funding for each component under a single application. The application is available on the Department’s Web site at https://www.ed.gov/programs/ statestabilization/applicant.html.
