Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 Payments Update
The Impact Aid Program has begun releasing basic support payments for local educational agencies (LEAs) that have requested an early payment. We have released 941 payments set at 50% proration and $500 per weighted student unit for Children with Disabilities (CWD).
If your LEA will require an FY 2024 initial Impact Aid payment before December 30, 2023, to meet operational expenses, you can request an expedited payment through the Impact Aid Grant System (IAGS). Go to this link for instructions for submitting the request through IAGS. We will release additional payments as we receive additional funds in the future.
