Tax Tables 2008

Question: How do I know if I am eligible for midwestern disaster area tax credit?
I am trying to do my 2008 US federal taxes, and looking at the lifetime learning credit, it seems like I am eligible for the benefits of being in a midwestern disaster area. I graduated from college in May 2008, and the school is located in a midwestern disaster area, going by the list on page 4 of IRS form 8863. That table lists an “applicable disaster date” for each state. I have seen that this date is relevant for certain other tax credits/deductions, ie, charitable vehicle use, mortgage reduction, etc. My question is, does this date have anything to do with the education credits, specifically the lifetime learning credit?
I DID live in one of the disaster counties BEFORE the “applicable disaster date” – does that date mean anything?
Answer: http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p4492b.pdf
That publication lists the applicable counties included in the midwestern disaster area.
