ACT 1 or ACT 2 on return from BIL

Created

None

We have a learner who went on a break in learning just befor her EPA.

She was coded as  ACT 2 (ESFA) on the ILR and her employer has not set up a Digital account.

She is now returning to complete her EPA. Can I just leave her on ACT2 (ESFA) and code her as a restart, therefore I would assume there would be no requirement for the employer to open a digital account

 

Any advice on this would be great

That’s correct leave as ACT 2.

Thanks Martin,

I was hoping that was the case.

If a learner left before completing (early Leaver) then came back but was employed by a different Employer, I could code them as a restart but would the new employer then need a digital account and the coding be ACT 1 employer?

Where an Apprentice was originally funded under a non-levy precured contract ACT 2 then their funding is included in your allocation until they complete, so yes if they restart or change employer they can remain as ACT 2.

Does the above still apply if the new employer is a levy payer?

Yes as ACT indicates the type of contract under which this apprentice on this apprenticeship is being funded and not levy and non-levy employer, ACT identifies whether the apprentice is funded using funds in an employer's digital account through a contract for services between the provider and the employer (ACT 1) or funded by the ESFA through a contract for services between the provider and the ESFA (ACT2).

It also depends if the new employer wants to use the funds from the levy in which case they need to register on DAS and you use ACT 1 on the ILR.

Thank you so much for your help :)

Hi Sue

Did the payments generate for your Apprentice?  I have a returning student where they have ACT Type 2 and they are not on my R08 payment report and I cannot see why.

Thanks
