  • 23.15 Disability 1 Code

Required does not mean automatically Y. The field reports Y or N from the student’s documented eligibility circumstance; do not infer eligibility solely from disability or IFSP participation.

Plan type controls which fields belong

Plan Type MeaningConditional-field principle
100Individualized Education Program (IEP)IEP transition indicators and Special Transportation may apply.
150Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP)Infant Program Type and specified Part C fields may apply.
200Individual Service Plan (ISP)Do not carry IEP- or IFSP-only fields into the record.

Concrete checks

  • Confirm Plan Type 150 and the primary disability code.
  • Verify whether the student is eligible for Regional Center services.
  • Use authorized documentation rather than assumption.
  • Check whether the source application collected the value but the extract omitted it.

Recommended correction path

  1. 1

    Preserve the rejected PLAN row

    Capture SSID, Reporting LEA/SELPA, effective date, Plan Type, the failed conditional field, and current PLAN history.

  2. 2

    Verify the governing plan type

    Determine whether this record represents an IEP, IFSP, or ISP. Do not choose a plan type merely to accommodate another field.

  3. 3

    Review the governing documentation

    Use the signed/effective plan, transition documentation, eligibility evidence, and team determinations applicable to this field.

  4. 4

    Determine whether the field belongs

    When the plan type supports the field, verify its evidence-backed value. When it does not, trace why the field was populated.

  5. 5

    Correct the source and mapping

    Populate the documented Y/N eligibility indicator, or correct the plan/disability field that incorrectly triggered the rule. Repair copied-forward defaults and export logic.

  6. 6

    Resubmit and reconcile history

    Confirm acceptance and review connected MEET, SWDS, PLAN, and SERV records for the same effective period.
