LEAs may apply to the DoD Impact Aid for Children with Severe Disabilities for military dependent children with severe disabilities to whom they provided services during school year 2007-2008. These children must have been claimed by the LEA on the Department of Education Application for Federal Impact Aid - Section 8003, to be children with disabilities (CWD). If, for any reason, the child was not identified by the LEA on the above mentioned application sent to Department of Education (e.g., the child did not attend the school at the time the application was submitted, the parent did not complete the form stating military dependent, etc.), the LEA cannot claim the child for purposes of the DoD Impact Aid for Children with Severe Disabilities. If the LEA has specific questions regarding the child s eligibility for the Federal Impact Aid program, it should contact the Department of Education.
