All tasks and payment dates are subject to change dependent on external factors outside of the Authority’s control. Any changes will be communicated as a message on the Provider’s EY Portal Account.
Amendment tasks
There are two amendment tasks for each term following the Actual headcount.
The first amendment task is issued to all Providers.
The final amendment task is only available on request following the production of the term's final funding statement. Should providers require a final amendment task, they must email their request to eefportal@staffordshire.gov.uk, quoting their Provider ID in all correspondence.
Please note, it is the Authority’s intention to close the term after the Final Amendment and any requests to amend claim after this will be subject to special consideration.
Funding Periods are paid as follows:
- Spring term (1 January to 31 March) - '38 week' offer 11 Weeks / 'Stretch' offer 12 Weeks
- Summer term (1 April to 31 August) - '38 week' offer 13 Weeks / 'Stretch' offer 20 Weeks
- Autumn term (1 September to 31 December) - '38 week' offer 14 Weeks / 'Stretch' offer 16 Weeks
The 38 week offer is paid with the maximum of 30 hours per week that can be claimed (i.e., up to 15 hours universal and 15 hours extended).
Please note that the 38 weeks offer does not have to fall in line with "term time only weeks" and can be supplied during school holidays.
The stretch offer is calculated over 48 weeks with the maximum of 23.75 hours per week that can be claimed (i.e., up to 11.88 hours Universal and 11.87 hours Extended).
