the pages. The selections we make on this page will determine
the portion of the application that we will see.
We will select children residing on Indian lands.

And children not include it in the above categories who
either reside on federally owned property or whose
parents work on federally owned property, or both.
In navigating to the next page, we can enter children
on Indian lands.
Note that on this page you can see two grids to enter
properties. If you applied last year, you'll see the eligible
properties you listed last year in the top grid.
This applies to all categories that you have
claimed on last year's application.
You can also add properties that already exist in the federal
property database in this grid.
Please note only properties that are eligible for the category
will be found in this search.
You can always reference the properties page to view the
properties in your LEA state.
To navigate to the properties page, select federal properties

category in your state.

you can also enter the total number of children who live
on that property
and the number of children with disabilities.
Please note that the total number should include the
children with disabilities.
Additionally, be aware that you may get an alert about your
child counts being very different from the prior year.
But this alert will usually go away as you add your child
counts. You only need to provide an explanation if the
alert is still there after filling in the entire table.

like on the previous page.

reference for the number of children claimed last year.
As a reminder, this alert will usually go away as
you add your child counts.
Below we can enter child counts for children whose parents are
in the uniform services but don't live on federal property.
Now we will navigate to the next page. On this page we ask do you
have children not claimed elsewhere on this application?
Who reside on federal property and whose parents work on
federal property in your school district and aren't in the
uniform services or foreign
military? You may recognize this category as Ai.
The difference between this and the previous categories is that
you are entering children for pairs of properties.
The properties that the child
lives on and the property the parent works on.
This category doesn't require the entry of
children with disabilities because there is no
additional funding for CWD in this category.
Note that there is a checkbox on this page called existing
property. You may select this checkbox to enable the system to
search for an existing property, the same way that you have seen
on previous screens.
If you would like to enter a new property on either of these
rows, do not select this box.
We will now navigate to the next page.
On this page we ask you to check first if you have enough
children in these two categories to allow you to be paid for
them. Remember that for categories F&G you need to
combine child count total in F&G of 10% of your membership, or
1000 in average daily attendance, whichever is lower.
We have given you a comparison at the top of the screen so
