Hello Everyone!
Welcome to the third issue of this year’s Impact Aid Director’s Quarterly Update.
Our team is working as expeditiously as possible to review documentation for the 225 fiscal year (FY) 2026 applications selected for monitoring. Each application undergoes an initial review. After submission of additional or corrected documentation by the local educational agency (LEA), we conduct a final review. As of today, the team has completed 21% of the initial reviews and 10% of the final reviews. If you have any questions during this process, please do not hesitate to contact the analyst responsible for monitoring your application for FY 2026 at any time. Our goal is to finalize all initial reviews by the end of June.
FY 2026 Amendment Deadline
If your LEA needs to make a change to the FY 2026 application, the deadline to submit an amendment is June 30, 2025.
For more help, please visit this training page to view our amendment user guide, quick tips and short video to assist you in completing an application amendment.
FY 2025 Funding Updates
The Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025 signed into law on March 15, 2025, provides funding through September 30, 2025, in the same amount as FY 2024. It takes several weeks for the Office of Management and Budget to apportion funds. We now have all funds apportioned and allotted to our accounts for Sections 7003 and 7002. On March 25 we released the remaining Section 7002 foundation payments and on April 15 we released interim payments for Section 7003(b) and Section 7003(d). The chart below summarizes where we are with payments as of today.
Program | Eligible LEAs | Current Payment Type | Payment Total to Date |
Section 7003(b) – Basic Support | 932 | Interim – 90% proration | $1.3 billion |
Section 7003(d) – Children with Disabilities | 766 | Interim – $1,050 per Weighted Student Unit | $41.4 million |
Section 7002 – Payments for Federal Property | 200 | Foundation Payments | $64.2 million |
We plan to release final FY 2025 payments for both 7002 and 7003 before the end of this fiscal year.
While Congress would typically allocate construction funds for discretionary (competitive) grants, the full-year continuing resolution maintained the same designation as FY 2024 funds. As a result, these funds will be allocated by means of formula for FY 2025. In the coming months, we will issue formula construction payments to LEAs with at least 50% of their membership either living on Indian lands or with a parent in the Uniformed Services.
Payment Blocks
If you are concerned about receiving your final FY 2025 Impact Aid payment late in your LEA’s fiscal year, you may request a payment block in the Impact Aid Grant System (IAGS). A payment block will prevent your LEA from receiving Impact Aid payments within a date range you select. Once the payment block ends, we will issue the payment to your LEA. Follow the IAGS User Guide for submitting a payment block.
Resource Spotlight– Impact Aid Grant Payment Reports
This month, we highlight the payment reports available on our website. These reports may be helpful to anyone who would like information about Impact Aid Grant payments without logging into the Impact Aid Grant System. These reports provide information about actual Impact Aid grant payments made to LEAs from FY 2010 to the present. For best results, narrow the results by searching for a State, LEA Name, or Federal Fiscal Year prior to exporting the reports to PDF or Excel.
