Hi Richard, Yes - getting the same problem and on the JISC network can see many other providers are having this issue also. So don't worry it's not just you! & hopefully we will be able to submit soon.

Hi Stephen, This was covered in a DFE/DWP webinar today - they are looking at is an ILR Start Date of 1st October 2026 or later. Which annoyingly most providers will their largest co-hort in the August or September months which they will miss out on this payment, which we are currently thinking about intentionally delaying some of our mid-september starts until October so the non-levy employers can benefit from this. As for how do they determine 3 months? It's not going to look at the Employment section in the ILR - this is going to link into HMRC and see if that National Insurance number has been paid by "x" company 90 days before the ILR start date if they have - for example an April 2026 payment for a 4th October 2026 Apprenticeship start they will not get this payment. We do not need to flag anything to prompt this payment it should be automatically paid to us then we have 30 working days to get this paid to the employer. This hiring incentive will continue to look at -90 days of the ILR student start date so if you have a new Apprentice starting on 10th January 2027 it will be looking to see if the student was employed by the company between 12th October 2026 and 10th January 2027 (not July 2026 for all future starts)

Following on from this - to confirm when you are looking at the rules for learners who are finishing early/if a variation statement is needed are you looking at their enrolment year/start year of the learner? For example an Electrical apprentice who started in 21/22 & hybrid end of 25/26 you would be looking in the 21/22 rules? Or are you looking at the latest update in the 25/26 rules. In addition, if we do use a variation statement for an apprentice who has finished early & done less hours would we need to give back the equivalent funding that we have reduced the OTJ hours by? If yes, how would we go about the DAS/Paperwork side that has been in place all year/multiple years?
