IDEA Full Funding Act

Sets mandatory, year‑by‑year funding levels for special education grants to states under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) starting in fiscal year 2026 and continuing every year after. The amounts are tied to a formula that uses the number of children with disabilities served (by age group) and the national average per‑pupil expenditure, and each year’s funds include a start date for obligation and a period of availability.

Also requires this funding to comply with cut‑as‑you‑go rules, meaning any new mandatory spending must be offset so it does not increase the federal deficit. It does not change who is eligible for IDEA services or how services are provided—this focuses on setting predictable federal funding levels and timing.
