Before publishing the Section 7002 and Section 7003 Impact Aid applications for Fiscal Year (FY) 2027, we are asking each applicant’s core user to confirm that they have the correct accounts set up in the Impact Aid Grant System. Core users will receive an email every day until they complete the task. If a core user does not complete the verification task within 30 days, we will assume the LEA no longer needs accounts and will remove all accounts associated with the LEA.

We strongly recommend that core users complete the Verify Current Users task before your school district starts its FY 2027 Impact Aid application. We anticipate that the Impact Aid applications will publish on Monday, December 8.  Here is how the user verification process works:

Email Notification

Core users will receive an email notification that the Verify Current Users task is available in IAGS. The email will summarize the status of accounts for their associated local educational agency (LEA). If the LEA does not have a core user, the other users associated with the LEA will receive the notification.

Inactive or Incorrect Core Users

If the core user’s account is inactive or the core user is no longer employed with the LEA, contact the Impact Aid analyst whose email address is in the notification. The Impact Aid analyst will reactivate the account or create a new account for the correct authorized user so they can sign in that day. (Note: The account will be made inactive again overnight if the core user does not sign in the same day that the account is reactivated.)

Active Core Users

Core users with active accounts can sign in to the Impact Aid Grant System using login.gov.  Under the Tasks list on the Home page, core users will see a “Verify Current Users” task for each LEA they are associated with.  After double clicking on the task to open it, core users can manage all accounts for the LEA from the task page. Each LEA can have only three active user accounts.

Managing User Accounts

• Remove Users: Click the “Update User’s Role” button next to their name, then click the red “Remove User from LEA” button on the next page.
• Change a User’s Role: Click the “Update User’s Role” button and select the roles you would like them to have. The options are signatory (authorized to represent the LEA by signing the application assurances and submitting the application), editor (authorized to start and edit an application, but not sign/submit it), and read only (can view applications and payment information but not edit).
• Reactivate an Account – Click the reactivate button immediately to the right of the “Update User’s Role” button. On the next page, select the Reactivate User button. Let the account holder know that they need to sign in to IAGS the same day in order for the account to stay active.
• Add a User – Click the blue “Add User to LEA” button. (Note: this button is only available if the LEA has less that three accounts assigned. You may need to remove a user account first before you can add an account.) Fill in the user’s name, job title, email address, and phone number. Once the account is created, they will be able to use login.gov to sign in.
