Progress Reports
It is recommended that the revised guides are read in full by Grant Recipient and CFO organisation staff involved in delivery of the ESF project, including those directly involved in compiling, reviewing and submitting claims and Delivery Partners where applicable.
Action
This guidance should be used from the date of publication for new ESF claims not yet submitted to the ESF Managing Authority.
Where a financial claim has already been submitted by a beneficiary under the previous claims guidance, unless requested otherwise by the ESF Contract Manager, there is no requirement for the beneficiary to re-work or re-submit that claim in order to meet the revised guidance changes.
Contact
If a beneficiary organisation has any concerns about adherence with the new and revised ESF Claims guidance, they should raise this with their ESF Contract Manager.
