Yes and yes (if they're non-levy).
133. Reservations can only be used for:
133.1. New apprenticeship starts; and
133.2. Re-starts where the apprenticeship was previously funded via contracted provision and following redundancy, or provider failure, needs to be funded via a reservation to allow an apprentice to continue / complete their apprenticeship with a new employer.
134. Reserved funds are classed as government-employer co-investment and all rules associated with government-employer co-investment must be followed when using reserved funds; please see paragraphs 141 to 146.
135. Providers cannot submit an ILR where funds have not been reserved for a start or re-start and a commitment has not been made for an apprentice, with matching details.
...
234.2.1 Where the provider is a main provider: If the apprentice finds a new employer where they can complete their apprenticeship, then the new employer assumes all outstanding liabilities and benefits from that point. The main provider must negotiate a new price, if required, with the new employer and input this on the ILR.
Worth noting that reservations can now be backdated by a month

Change of Employer from Levy to Non Levy
Created
If an apprentice was employed by a Levy paying employer and has been made redundant (with more than 75% of the apprenticeship to complete), if any new employer is not Levy paying, do they still need to co-invest the 5% (of the negotiated new / residual price)?
Also, if using the 'Change of Employer' function on the DAS / App Service, would the new employer need to make a new funding reservation?
Thank you
