Funding cap now showing for TNP 3 and 4 on new ZPROG

Created

Hi there!

A learner of ours changed employers in June 2024 and this was recorded as a TNP 3 and 4 on their first ZPROG/ in the previous funding year and had no issues. We closed down the first ZPROG as a 3/3/40 as of 1 Aug 2024 and opened a new ZPROG to start in 2 Aug 2024. We copied across TNP 3 and 4s as their original values as per June but we've the start date of 2 Aug.

The indicative earnings report is now showing us being over funding by 2 months and the monthly payment prices have adapted. I'm assuming it's reading that we already received June and July's payment?

This is not an issue we've seen with return to studies, as the original TNP costs start with the new Zprog date but we never see a funding cap in the indicative earning report. Is there another way this should be reported in the ILR?

 

 

Thanks!!

What was the reason for closing and reopening and recording as transferred in August 2024? Were they changing Standard?

Nope wasn't a change in standard, was due to a typo on the PPED (only by 2 days within the same month) :)

For the sake of two days mistake in PED, I would definitely not go through the rigmarole of using the published guidance on how to fix errors in closed years. I wouldn't even do it for two weeks unless it meant the duration was too short.

If you absolutely have to correct the PED for some reason, then it should work out ok if you've coded is as a restart with an Original Start Date. If you coded it as a transfer, I think you'd need to record the remaining funding from Aug 2024, though I might be wrong on that. It will mess with the amounts as the 30% completion would be different. I think you're best off asking the help desk what to do.
