Suggested resolution
Official rule in plain language
Severity: Fatal Type: Input Validation
Fields validated
- 24.15 Meeting Delay Code
- 24.16 Evaluation Type Code
- 24.17 Plan Review Indicator
Delay codes are scenario-specific and effective-dated. A code that is valid for a reevaluation may be invalid for Part C; a retired code may remain historically valid but cannot be used for a current event.
Delay reporting follows the underlying activity

Concrete checks
- Use the activity-specific matrix below.
- Check the event’s academic year against new and retired combinations.
- Distinguish documented cause from technical acceptability.
- Correct vendor crosswalks that still emit Code 75 or expired Part C combinations.
Recommended correction path
- 1
Preserve the rejected row
Capture submission ID, SSID, Reporting LEA/SELPA, Academic Year, all MEET dates, activity indicators, outcome, delay, and the ODS history.
- 2
Identify the event state
Determine whether the activity was pending or completed and whether it involved an initial evaluation, reevaluation, plan review, or combination permitted by Version 18.
- 3
Build the chronology
Place referral, consent, pending checkpoints, meeting, determination, delay, SWDS, and PLAN events in order.
- 4
Verify governing evidence
Use signed meeting/evaluation records, procedural documentation, the SEDS, and the current code/combination definitions. Do not infer an outcome or delay reason.
- 5
Correct the source and mapping
Select the evidence-supported delay code allowed for the exact evaluation/plan-review activity and academic year, or correct an inaccurate activity field. Repair any recurring export rule.
- 6
Resubmit and reconcile
Confirm acceptance, inspect the complete MEET history, and review connected SWDS/PLAN records and affected reporting results.
