Special Note: Prior Approval

Some direct costs require prior approval. These items include using Federal IDEA Part C funds to pay for: (1) equipment; (2) participant support costs (such as training or travel costs); (3) construction or renovation of facilities; and (4) rent, occupancy or space maintenance costs-3. States may find helpful OSEP's Guidance for Common Prior Approval Requests under IDEA Parts B and C pdf issued on January 3, 2023. It provides a summary of the guidance and approval process for the most common prior approval cost categories. The October 2019 Frequently Asked Questions (2019 FAQs) Prior Approval - OSEP and RSA Formula Grants-4 pdf details prior approval flexibilities for equipment and participant support costs and describes the parameters under which OSEP has provided prior approval for a subset of these costs.

For any activity or expense listed under Section III of this application that is not covered by the 2023 guidance and 2019 FAQs and requires OSEP prior approval, mark an "X" in the chart below and submit supporting documentation.

Approval of the State's FFY 2024 application does not constitute OSEP's approval of these expenses unless specifically referenced. (Add rows as needed)

C. Direct Services (Funded by Federal IDEA Part C Funds)

When completing this section include:

• A description of any direct early intervention service that the State lead agency expects to provide to eligible children and their families with Federal IDEA Part C funds.

• The approximate amount for each direct service (States must disaggregate by service the approximate amount of Federal IDEA Part C funds expected to be expended for each direct service); and

• A subtotal of the amount.

Special Note: Amounts for Costs Other Than Direct Services

If contracts with EIS providers include amounts for costs other than direct services, the State should:

• report the amount and type of non-service expenses in Section III.B (along with all other maintenance and implementation activities for IDEA Part C incurred by the State lead agency and/or the SICC) or

• report the entire amount in Section III.C and insert a footnote in Section III.C to indicate the estimated amounts listed in that section that includes expenses for non-direct services. (Example: State contracts with EIS provider for occupational therapy (OT) services and training. Training amounts would be listed under Section III.B. and OT services under Section III.C or the entire amount would be placed in Section III.C and a footnote would specify that the estimated amount also includes training expenses. (This option may be helpful if the contractual amounts cannot be easily disaggregated.)
