Funding Band Increases

Created

Hi, 

Does anyone know when the new increases in funding bands that were introduces last month are made live?  

I was under the impression it was with immediate effect as I couldn’t find anything that says otherwise, but it doesn’t appear that the new limits are updated on DAS.  

Thanks

Seems to be 26/6/2023, at least according to 3 of those that were in scope

Have you added the new versions within the Manage the standards you deliver menu? If not they won't appear when you're trying to assign them to learners in cohorts

Yes its all updated and fine,  but when I add an agreed price of the new funding capit comes up with a warning that we are charging over the funding cap and will be invoiced separatley. Im hoping its just because DAS hasnt caught up?

We had this problem and I contacted the app service, they advised to process anyway and ignore the warning (it was difficult to convince our employers they wouldn't be charged). App service said;

The AS system will only show the funding band warning for new apprentices with a start date within the same month as the revised delivery start date.

This is because the Apprenticeship Service defaults to the funding band maximum present on the 1st of the month and in the scenario of recent funding band maximum increases, they are dated as approved for delivery from 26/06/2023.

As long as the start date of the learner in your ILR is from 26th June 2023 onwards (start date for the new version); the funding band maximum will be the updated to the increased amount which can be checked in your indicative earnings reports.

The employer will not be charged any fees over the funding band maximum as long as the ILR apprenticeship start date and new standard version funding band maximum start dates are in line with each other.
