No cash or in-kind matching requirement shall apply to the payments made under this subsection. The Secretary shall make the payments required under this subsection not later than 60 days after the date on which funds are transferred and made available under paragraph (1). Each agency that receives funds from a payment made under this subsection shall use the funds to provide adult protective services during the COVID–19 public health emergency period. No funds from a payment made under this subsection shall be used to satisfy any requirement of a federally funded program relating to State or local matching funds or in-kind contributions.
