of Defense Impact Aid for Children with Severe Disabilities; SD Form 
816 and SD Form 816C; OMB Number 0704--[To be Determined].

Education (ED) from information they submitted on children with 
disabilities, when they completed the Impact Program form for the 
Department of Education. This new application will be requested of LEAs 
who educate military dependent students with disabilities, who have 
been deemed eligible for the U.S. Department of Education Impact Aid 
program, to determine if they meet the criteria to receive additional 
funds from the Department of Defense due to high special education 
costs of the military dependents with severe disabilities that they 
serve.
