Call 1 (800) FED-INFO (that’s 1-800-333-4636) to reach the federal government’s answer hotline, where they’ll answer your government-related questions or get you to someone who can.

You may be wondering what the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act means for your family. Unfortunately, you won’t get a check in the mail this year, but your community may benefit from the funds. 

Call 1 (800) FED-INFO to learn about the federal, state and local government projects that will receive the money and the number of jobs in your state that may be available as a result.

You may also be wondering where to turn when you’ve got questions about housing. The information specialists at 1 (800) FED-INFO can guide you to the right government agencies for housing assistance or mortgage counseling if you’re having trouble paying your mortgage.
