Spotted this in the 14 June newsletter from CommonWealth Magazine:

    unspent federal COVID relief funds before the money could be
    “clawbacked” by the feds under terms of the recently passed debt

I'm noting the "clawbacked" instead of "clawed back". I no longer 
maintain a subscription to the Globe so can't see if it's in the 
original or was done by the Commonwealth Magazine newsletter writer.
