Guidance for Common Prior Approval Requests Under IDEA Parts B and C
This OSEP guidance summarizes the approval process and requirements for three common categories of direct costs for which states must obtain prior approval before using IDEA funds: equipment expenditures, participant support costs, and revision of cost items within budget and program plans.
Note: Some of this information may be outdated. Changes in 2024 to the Uniform Grant Guidance removed certain prior approval requirements. See these FAQs.
