1. Introduction and purpose of the guidance

This guidance sets out how to submit data through the earnings adjustment statement (EAS) data collection.

We may make changes to these principles and features during the funding year.

This guidance is designed for colleges, other training organisations and employers.

1.1 Understanding the terminology

The term 鈥榳e鈥� refers to Department for Education (DfE). When we refer to 鈥榶ou鈥� or 鈥榩roviders鈥�, this includes colleges, higher education institutions, training organisations, local authorities and employers that receive funding from us or a devolved authority (DA) to deliver education and training.

The term 鈥榙evolved authority鈥� refers to the mayoral combined authorities (MCAs) and the Greater London Authority (GLA) that can fund adult skills fund (ASF) provision in the 2025 to 2026 funding year.

2. What is 迟丑别听EAS?

罢丑别听EAS听is a comma separated value (CSV) data collection. You can submit 迟丑别听EAS听迟辞听听to record some types of funding that you cannot report in the individualised learner record (ILR).

Under most circumstances, you should not need to submit an听EAS听as you should record your learner data in 迟丑别听ILR. However, in some exceptional cases where you cannot record data in your听ILR听to receive your funding, you can use 迟丑别听EAS. In other cases, we will require you to use听EAS.

We describe the circumstances when you may use 迟丑别听EAS, or are required to use 迟丑别听EAS, in this guidance.

For a complete understanding of how the funding system works in practice, please read this guidance along with the following:

• ASF听funding rules
• Funding rates and formula documents
• 别补肠丑听DA鈥檚 funding rules
• 别补肠丑听DA鈥檚 funding rates and formula
• advanced learner loans funding rules
• apprenticeship funding rules听(for starts from 1 May 2017)
• apprenticeships technical funding guide听(for starts from 1 May 2017)
• funding rules听(for apprenticeship starts before 1 May 2017)

3. Changes from the 2024 to 2025 guidance

The way you complete and submit the EAS has not changed from the 2024 to 2025 funding year.

We have updated the adjustment type Prince鈥檚 Trust to The King鈥檚 Trust.

We have added new source of funding (SOF) codes for the 3 new devolved authorities for 2025 to 2026:

• East Midlands Combined County Authority (SOF 121)
• York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority (SOF 122)
• Cornwall Council (SOF 123)

We have deleted funding line types for apprenticeship frameworks, which can no longer be certificated after 31 March 2025. See table 2 for the list of funding line types applicable this year.

4. Can I claim funding for our learners?

You can use 迟丑别听EAS听to adjust your funding in the following scenarios. Please consult the corresponding funding rules for further details on the eligibility for this funding through听EAS:

• you have learners that require 鈥榚xcess learning support鈥� above the value of 拢150 a month of learning support which is generated by our calculations from听ILR听诲补迟补
• you have learners that require 鈥榣earner support鈥�. This is split into several subcategories of learner support within 迟丑别听EAS
• you have learners enrolled on learning aims within the King鈥檚 Trust team programme and are claiming additional funding to the programme rate
• we have written to you to give authorisation to make a positive 鈥榓uthorised claim鈥�. If you are repaying funding, you do not need permission for negative authorised claims.
• one of 迟丑别听DAs听has asked or allowed you to use听EAS听to make an 鈥榓uthorised claim鈥� for provision which they fund

The different types of learning you deliver, for example apprenticeships, or adult education from 迟丑别听ASF, have different eligibility for these scenarios.听Table 2听shows which types of听EAS听claims each different type of learning delivery is eligible for.

5. When must I use 迟丑别听EAS?

In exceptional cases, we may ask you to repay funding, for example following an audit. In these cases, you must enter a negative adjustment on your听EAS.

If you are funded for devolved听ASF, a听DA听may also ask you to repay funding. In these cases, you must enter a negative adjustment on your听EAS听if instructed to do so by 迟丑别听DA.

6. General guidance for creating your听EAS

Under most circumstances, your听EAS听should only contain funding where you have recorded your听ILR听诲补迟补 correctly, but we have not been able to calculate all funding from that data. You may only use your听EAS听in cases where you have recorded your听ILR听诲补迟补 incorrectly if you have received written approval to do so from us or from the relevant听DA.

驰辞耻谤听EAS听is a cumulative return 鈥� 别补肠丑听EAS听you submit within a funding year should add to the contents of the previous file you submitted, unless you need to remove something to make a correction. If you do not include the contents that you previously submitted, we will recover the funding for the previous contents and only generate earnings for the contents of your current file.

驰辞耻谤听EAS听return is not learner based, so you do not need to return a row for each learner for whom you are claiming or repaying funding. You must aggregate the funding into different categories.

You must also ensure you have supporting evidence for each claim you make.

6.1 How do I submit data on my听EAS?

Your submission must be a csv file, following the instructions in the next section. You must upload the CSV to the 鈥�.

The Submit Learner Data website will produce validation reports shortly after you have submitted your file. You must check these validation reports to ensure that there are no validation errors, which would cause some or all of your file to be rejected. For more information on validation, see 迟丑别听EAS听诲补迟补 validation section.

Your file must use the format shown in 迟丑别听.

Please take care to use the exact field names you see in the file 鈥� otherwise we will reject your submission and you will not earn the funding from that file. For more information on validation, see the EAS data validation section.

You must collect all your听EAS听诲补迟补 together to submit as a single file.

The adjustments in your听EAS听always represent activity at the point in time when they took place. The evidence you hold for the activity, including when it happened, should match the data you record in your听EAS.

You only need to add rows to your file for the claims you are making in the CalendarMonth and CalendarYear when the activity took place. You do not need a row for each FundingLine or each AdjustmentType each month.

For each row in your听CSV听蹿颈濒别, you should use a unique combination of FundingLine, AdjustmentType, CalendarMonth, CalendarYear and DevolvedAreaSourceOfFunding, as shown in diagram 1.

Diagram 1: Example EAS file showing valid data

When you add a new adjustment, you should create a separate row of data if any one of the 5 fields above is different for that adjustment compared with existing rows in your file. If the 5 fields for an adjustment are the same as an existing row, you should amend the value in that row to reflect the total of all adjustments corresponding to those 5 fields. You only need to send a new file if there have been changes or additions since the last file you sent.

贰补肠丑听CSV听蹿颈濒别 you submit will overwrite the last one you submitted. Therefore, the file needs to include all the data you submit for your organisation for the current funding year 鈥� not just the period that you are submitting data in. You must continue to submit any data you previously submitted, as this is a year-to-date collection, unless you discover an error in that data, which you must delete or correct as appropriate.

If you submit an听EAS听with a previous month鈥檚 data removed, we will recover any payments from you relating to that removed data. Here are some examples.

You have submitted a row of data in your听EAS听for a 鈥楲earnerSupport鈥� adjustment in R03, but by R04 you discover the learner it was intended for had left before this claim, so you claimed the funding in error. In your R04 return, you would simply delete the row of data from your听EAS听and submit the file to delete that adjustment and repay the funding.

You have submitted several rows of data in your听EAS听for 鈥楲earnerSupport鈥� adjustments in R03 relating to a single learner, but your听EAS听contains no other data. By R04 you discover the learner it was intended for had never started their learning, so you claimed the funding in error. In your R04 return, you would simply delete all the rows of data from your file, submitting a file containing only the field headings to delete all your adjustments and repay the funding.

If you need to change or add听EAS听values for a previous calendar month, you need to include these changes in your latest听CSV听蹿颈濒别 along with values for the latest month. For instance, 迟丑别听EAS听蹿颈濒别s you submit at R04 could include rows with CalendarMonths from 8 to 11, representing August to November. At R05, your听EAS听could include rows with CalendarMonths from 8 to 12, representing August to December.

The validation rules will prevent you returning data for calendar months after the month relating to the current collection.

You should only return records for delivery that has taken place within the associated funding year.

For technical queries about submitting 迟丑别听EAS, please contact us through our .

6.2 When to submit your听EAS

罢丑别听EAS听operates within a funding year alongside 迟丑别听ILR. There are 14 鈥榬eturns鈥� in a year where you can submit your听EAS, which follow 迟丑别听ILR听collection timetable.

• for collections R01 to R12, you must submit your听EAS听by the 4th working day of each month
• for R13, you must submit your听EAS听by 14 September 2026
• for R14, you must submit your听EAS听by 22 October 2026

If you are a grant-funded provider (鈥榩aid on profile鈥� for 迟丑别听ASF听or the advanced learner loans bursary (ALLB)), your听EAS听claims will be included as part of your funding claims. You need to ensure your听EAS听claims are up to date by 迟丑别听ILR听return date before 迟丑别听funding claim return dates in 2025 to 2026.

• by R06 for the mid-year claim
• by R10 for the year-end claim
• by R14 for the final claim

You need to submit all听ILR听补苍诲听EAS听诲补迟补 by the final R14 collection date so that we can calculate the correct amount to pay you for the year.

6.3 Naming your听CSV听蹿颈濒别

Your file must end with the .csv file extension and follow these naming guidelines for our system to accept your听EAS听蝉耻产尘颈蝉蝉颈辞苍:

EASDATA-LLLLLLLL-yyyymmdd-hhnnss.csv where:

• L = UK provider reference number (UKPRN) 鈥� this must be 8 characters
• y = year at file creation
• m = month at file creation
• d = day at file creation
• h = hour at file creation
• n = minute at file creation
• s = second at file creation

6.4 EAS听诲补迟补 validation

There are 3 stages in validating a file; file level, field definition and validation rules. Each of these stages are explained below, but for further details on each stage, please refer to the EAS validation rules.

File level rules

If the file fails a file level error, then we will reject the whole file and we will report this on 迟丑别听EAS听rule violation report. If this happens, then we will not produce 迟丑别听EAS听funding report.

File level rules ensure that the format of the file and the file name are correct.

Field definition rules

The fields within a file and the accepted characters in each field are shown in table 1.

Table 1:听EAS听field definitions

Field name	Data type	Mandatory field	Accepted data
FundingLine	Varchar	Y	Controlled value list 鈥� see below
AdjustmentType	Varchar	Y	Controlled value list 鈥� see below
CalendarYear	Integer	Y	2025, 2026
CalendarMonth	Integer	Y	1 to 12
Value	Decimal	Y	Made up of digits from 0 to 9, optionally one decimal point, and optionally a minus sign
DevolvedAreaSourceOfFunding	Integer	N	110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123 or blank

Validation rules

If any part of a record fails the validation rules, we will reject the record with an error. We produce validation warnings where the data is unusual or where the data is allowed under certain circumstances. We load records that produce warnings into the national database; however, you should check these records to ensure that the data is correct. You can access the validation rules on gov.uk.

A record within a file must be unique to pass the field definition rules. We identify this using the combination of these fields: FundingLine, AdjustmentType, CalendarYear, CalendarMonth and, for devolved听ASF, DevolvedAreaSourceOfFunding.

7. Field-by-field guidance for completing your听EAS听蝉耻产尘颈蝉蝉颈辞苍

All fields are mandatory except DevolvedAreaSourceOfFunding.

Following the guidance from the field definition validation, you should start out constructing your file as a听CSV, with the first row of data containing each of the listed field names, as shown in diagram 2.

Diagram 2: An EAS file with headings but no data

You should then fill out each subsequent row with data in each field that complies with each of the following sections.

7.1 FundingLine

The 鈥楩undingLine鈥� is a description of the type of learning delivery you have a contract to receive funding for. This is usually made up of an age group, a funding model and a contract type, for example 鈥�16-18 apprenticeship non-levy contract (procured)鈥�. We validate this against the contracts you hold.

The following list shows all the FundingLines you can claim funding for and how you should enter them in your听EAS:

• 16-18 Trailblazer Apprenticeships
• 19-23 Trailblazer Apprenticeships
• 24+ Trailblazer Apprenticeships
• 16-18 Apprenticeship (From May 2017) Non-Levy Contract (non-procured)

• Short Term Funding Initiative 1
• Short Term Funding Initiative 2
• Short Term Funding Initiative 3
• Short Term Funding Initiative 4

7.2 AdjustmentType

The 鈥楢djustmentType鈥� is a description of the type of additional funding you want to claim through your听EAS听that cannot otherwise by claimed on your听ILR.

The following table shows which AdjustmentTypes can be claimed for each FundingLine as you should enter them in your听EAS. Where multiple similar FundingLines are eligible for the same AdjustmentTypes, we have clustered them together.

Excess learning support

You can claim up to 拢150 of learning support a month through 迟丑别听ILR听to support the delivery of a learning aim.

You can claim excess learning support through 迟丑别听EAS听to supplement this if the cost of reasonable adjustments to deliver a learning aim exceeds 拢150 a month.

For learning aims with a planned length of less than one calendar month, we have changed our funding calculation so that, in most cases, you should no longer need to use 迟丑别听EAS听to claim the learning support. However, if you see that this funding has not been reflected in your funding reports, and we expect this to be in exceptional cases only, then please claim the entire cost of the learning support through 迟丑别听EAS, instead of just the excess.

When you can claim enough learning support funding through 迟丑别听ILR, you should not use 迟丑别听EAS. We expect you to use 迟丑别听EAS听only when there is no alternative method to claim the funding.

You can find further information on when you may claim learning support and evidence requirements in the funding rules matching the learning delivery you are claiming for.

Learner support

You can use 迟丑别听EAS听to claim learner support funding for procured ASF provision that we fund. DAs may also ask you to use听EAS听to claim learner support for their provision.

You should not use this adjustment type for learner support for 迟丑别听ALLB听(see the following section on听ALLB听excess support).

ALLB听excess support

You may use the adjustment type of 鈥�ALLB听excess support鈥� to indicate eligible learner support and excess learning support for learners with advanced learner loans.

Contract-funded providers, and providers that only hold a loans facility conditions and bursary funding agreement with us, can claim additional learner and learning support funding for learners with advanced learner loans where the fixed monthly rate does not cover the full cost of the support provided.

The monthly rate depends on the details entered in 迟丑别听ILR听for code ALB1, ALB2 or ALB3. You must only claim the additional funding needed each month, and you must continue to claim the standard funding rate(s) using 迟丑别听ILR.

If you are funded by a procured contract for your听ALLB听delivery, the 鈥�ALLB听excess support鈥� category may include a mixture of learner and learning support. You can find full details in 迟丑别听advanced learner loans funding rules.

If you are a grant-funded provider, you should only use this funding line to claim excess learning support, and not learner support, through 迟丑别听EAS. To claim your learner support, you will need to use the funding claim return directly, not your听EAS.

If learning support for a single learner with an advanced learner loan is greater than 拢19,000 in a funding year, you must claim the excess over this amount as exceptional learning support. You can only claim this funding when we have agreed that you can submit an听exceptional learning support 鈥� cost form.

Where you claim 迟丑别听ALLB, you must retain audit evidence for the overall cost of support provided, including funding earned using 迟丑别听ILR.

For further information on what you can claim, please read 迟丑别听advanced learner loans funding rules.

The King鈥檚 Trust

You can claim additional funding for the King鈥檚 Trust qualifications above the qualification rate up to the value of the programme cost. For the purpose of claiming EAS, you have to remove the apostrophe when claiming funding for The King鈥檚 Trust as some characters such as apostrophes can cause problems when importing or working with comma-separated value text files. For more information about the amounts you can claim, please refer to the relevant guidance from a devolved authority, or the 听ASF Funding Rates and Formula in Table 3.

The maximum cost you can claim through the EAS is calculated by subtracting the matrix funding rate for the aim from the maximum programme cost for the aim. This is shown as the 鈥榤aximum additional funding for鈥� in Table 3.

EAS adjustment amount = maximum programme cost 鈥� matrix funding rate

For information on which learners are eligible, please refer to the relevant devolved rules or the Adult skills fund: funding and performance management rules.

Authorised claims

An authorised claim is a generic adjustment to funding that you may request to make, or that you may be asked to make, where funding has not been correctly paid to you.

A positive Authorised Claim may only be recorded in your EAS with the prior approval of us or the relevant devolved authority that is providing the funding. You do not need permission for a negative claim, although you may need to check with the relevant devolved authority if it relates to devolved funding.

You may need to use this adjustment type if:

• we have asked you, or you want to, repay funding to us following an audit. You must enter any repayments as a听negative figure听(-xxxx.xx)
• 迟丑别听DA听responsible for funding your provision asks you to use it
• the funding rules identify an exception where you can use this category
• we, or the relevant DA, give you written permission for a positive claim

We will monitor the use of this adjustment type and may ask for the evidence of authorisation if we believe we have not authorised its use.

For apprenticeship starts from May 2017, we have separated authorised claims into these 5 adjustment types:

• authorised claims 鈥� training costs exc maths/Eng 听

For claims relating to training costs, excluding training in maths and English

• authorised claims 鈥� additional payments for provider

For claims relating to the 拢1,000 additional payments we make to you for younger apprentices and eligible 19 to 23 year olds

• authorised claims 鈥� additional payments for employer

For claims relating to the 拢1,000 additional payments we make to you on behalf of the employer

• authorised claims 鈥� additional payments for apprentice

For claims relating to the first 拢1,000 additional payment we make to you on behalf of the apprentice, for apprentices who are care leavers (aged up to 24 years old). The second and third instalments of the care leaver bursary will be paid to you based on continuing learning following an initial claim through either 迟丑别听ILR听or 迟丑别听EAS. The second and third payments must not be claimed through 迟丑别听EAS. For more information about the care leaver bursary, please refer to 迟丑别听apprenticeship funding rules

• authorised claims 鈥� maths and English

For claims relating to training costs in maths and English

If we have identified errors in 迟丑别听FRM27 post-16 monitoring report听(because you recorded a withdrawal in the current听ILR听funding year, but the withdrawal date was in a previous听ILR听funding year), you can repay any funding overclaim through 迟丑别听EAS听in-year. You do not need our permission to do this. However, you must provide us with the following details of the learners this repayment applies to through our听, selecting the 鈥�DfE听returns and data requests鈥� option:

• academic year
• reporting month
• query ID

7.3 CalendarYear

You must record the calendar year when the activity took place that this adjustment relates to. This could be different to the year you submit the data but must be within the current funding year. It should be 4 digits, for example 2025.

7.4 CalendarMonth

You must record the calendar month when the activity took place which this adjustment relates to. This could be different to the month you submit the data but must, in combination with the CalendarYear, be within the current funding year. It should be up to 2 digits long, for example 5 for May or 12 for December.

7.5 Value

You need to enter the value of the adjustment being claimed using numbers and a decimal point only. You can record a positive number, for example 45.24, or negative number, for example -12.79.

7.6 DevolvedAreaSourceOfFunding

You must record a value in this field if you have recorded a FundingLine of 鈥�DA/GLA听Adult Skills Fund core (non-procured)鈥�, 鈥�DA/GLA听Adult Skills Fund core (procured)鈥�, 鈥�DA/GLA听Adult Skills Fund free courses for job (non-procured)鈥� or 鈥�DA/GLA听Adult Skills Fund free courses for job (procured)鈥�.

For any other FundingLine, you must leave this field blank.

You must record the source of funding (SOF) code of the devolved area for which you are recording an earnings adjustment, using the same definitions of听SOF听codes as we use in 迟丑别听ILR听specification for 2025 to 2026.

For provision that we fund, you should not use 迟丑别听SOF听code 105 which is used in 迟丑别听ILR听to represent adult provision that we fund. Instead, you should leave this field blank and use one of the FundingLines which represent our funding.

Below is a list of valid SOF鈥檚 in this field, and the devolved area they represent. In 2025 to 2026 there are 听new SOF codes for the 3 newly devolved authorities in 2025 to 2026 for the East Midlands Combined County Authority (SOF 121), York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority (SOF 122) and Cornwall Council (SOF 123).

Table 3:听SOF听codes for 迟丑别听DA听they represent

8. When will you pay us?

We pay you monthly in arrears for all provision except devolved听ASF. We will add the extra funding you claim through 迟丑别听EAS听to your听ILR听earnings. We will pay you each month at a contract level. To understand how听DAs听will pay you for your devolved听ASF听provision claimed through听EAS, please consult their documentation.

We will make payments for R01 to R12 each month from September to August. We make R13 and R14 payments later in the year, depending on the FundingLine.

9. How much have I earned or repaid?

Once you submit a file successfully, we will generate 2 EAS specific reports for you from R01:

• EAS Rule Violation Report (CSV) 鈥� this will show you any records with errors or warnings, for example, 鈥淭he CalendarMonth must be in numbers, not letters鈥�
• EAS Funding Report (CSV) 鈥� this will show you all rows in your report that have passed validation, and consequently you may receive funding for

We will also produce these reports on the Submit learner data website. These show you your earnings for each funding line based on your latest submitted ILR and EAS, from DfE and from devolved authorities respectively:

• Funding Summary Report
• Devolved Adult Education Funding Summary Report
• Adult Funding Claim Report

The Funding Summary Report shows the data from the EAS under the appropriate budget line. The titles of the funding lines start with the letters 鈥�EAS鈥� to distinguish them from the funding generated through the ILR. The Devolved Adult Education Funding Summary Report shows the equivalent data for your devolved adult education funding.

The funding in your Funding Summary Reports is shown by months, which relate to when you earned the funding, not when we pay you for it.

In cases where a file level validation error is encountered that prevents us processing the file further, the EAS Rule Violation Report will be the only report we produce for that submission.

You will receive no funding for data in your EAS file that fails validation. You should make every effort to resolve the errors and warnings shown in your rule violation report so that you receive all the funding you are claiming.
