In order to qualify for funding, parents who identified themselves in Family File as working on federal property in Maryland or as active duty military should log in via HCPSS Connect to complete the Impact Aid form by confirming the information and providing a digital signature before December 19.

If you did not complete Family File this year and work on federal property in Maryland or are active duty military, please log in and complete the Federal Impact Aid section of Family File.

If you submitted a form before September 30, it must be redone. 

In instances where families are federally connected both by work location and membership in the uniformed services, the digital signature only needs to be completed by one parent.

To complete your online Impact Aid form:

1.      Log in to HCPSS Connect using parent/guardian credentials

2.      Select More Options from the left navigation

3.      Select Federal Impact Aid from the middle

The family’s federally related information and digital signature will qualify the school system for applicable funding.
