The correct statements about the fiscal response to lockdowns imposed at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic are:
1. **Congress passed the CARES Act to help support individuals and business during the COVID-19 pandemic.**
2. **Policymakers understood that once lockdowns were imposed in response to the pandemic that a recession would be an unavoidable side effect.**
The other statements can be evaluated as follows:
- **Relief money provided by the CARES Act began being delivered about a month after the act was approved.** (This is generally accurate, as initial payments began about a few weeks after the act was signed into law on March 27, 2020, but it may not apply to all forms of relief, so context matters.)
- **Lawmakers debated the CARES Act for several months before coming to an agreement and passing the bill.** (This statement is inaccurate; the CARES Act was drafted and passed relatively quickly, within a matter of weeks, due to the urgency of the situation.)
Therefore, the first two statements regarding the CARES Act are correct.
