General Motors has received the second portion of a 9.4 billion dollar government loan, the Treasury department said in a document posted on its website Wednesday.
GM received 5.4 billion dollars on January 21, according to a report detailing the distribution of funds through the Troubled Asset Relief Program.
The first portion of the loan, some four billion dollars, was received on December 31 at the direction of the Bush administration after Congress failed to pass a rescue package.
Chrysler also received four billion dollars on December 31.
The loans carry a number of restrictions and strict rules.
Both automakers must submit a detailed restructuring plan by February 17 and a yet to be appointed 'car czar' must certify by March 31 that they are making progress in carrying out the plans.
GM's partially-owned financial arm, GMAC, received 5.9 billion dollars in loans and Chrysler's financial unit received 1.5 billion dollars under the 700 billion dollar bailout package aimed at the troubled banking sector.
GM could receive another four billion dollars in February and Chrysler has said it will ask for more funds.
