Conditions for reimbursement of the Union contribution to programmes in accordance with Articles 94(4) and 95(4) of Regulation (EU) 2021/1060 on the basis of unit costs and financing not linked to costs for operations in the areas of formal education, training, employment-related counselling services, in-home care services and community-based day care services and support services for victims of domestic violence and homeless persons

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2021/1060 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 June 2021 laying down common provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund Plus, the Cohesion Fund, the Just Transition Fund and the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund and financial rules for those and for the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund, the Internal Security Fund and the Instrument for Financial Support for Border Management and Visa Policy^note, and in particular Articles 94(4) and 95(4) thereof,Whereas:

(1)With a view to simplifying the use of the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+) and the Just Transition Fund (JTF) and reducing the administrative burden for beneficiaries, it is appropriate to define certain unit costs and establish amounts of financing not linked to costs available for reimbursement of the Union contribution to programmes. In line with Article 25(2) of Regulation (EU) 2021/1060, those unit costs and amounts of financing not linked to costs may be used also for operations eligible under the ESF+ and supported by the European Regional Development Fund.

(2)The unit costs for reimbursement to Member States have been established on the basis of a fair, equitable and verifiable calculation method based on historical or statistical data, as referred to in Article 94(2), second subparagraph, point (a) of Regulation (EU) 2021/1060.

(3)In the setting of the amounts of financing not linked to costs the Commission has observed the principle of sound financial management, in particular the principle that the resources employed are adequate for the investments undertaken.

(4)Taking into account the additional efforts required for addressing the specific needs of third country nationals, including refugees and people having fled the Russian aggression against Ukraine, specific unit costs should be established for the relevant types of operations.

(5)Simplifying the implementation of operations in the area of formal education, training of employees, training of registered unemployed, job-seekers or inactive people and of employment-related counselling services, will also contribute to the successful implementation of European Year of Skills.

(6)Reaffirming the commitments under the European Pillar of Social Rights Action Plan^note with the new 2030 Union headline target on poverty and social inclusion it is appropriate to facilitate and create incentives for the implementation of operations that help to reduce the number of people at risk of poverty or social exclusion. Therefore, simplified cost options and financing-not-linked-to-cost schemes should be defined for operations offering in-home and community-based care services as well as for operations providing residential and non-residential services for victims of domestic violence and people experiencing short-term or long-term homelessness.

(7)There are the significant disparities between Member States regarding the level of costs for the types of operations concerned. In line with the principle of sound financial management, the amounts established by the Commission should reflect the specificities of each Member State.

(8)In order to ensure that the unit costs remain an appropriate proxy for the costs actually incurred and that the amounts of financing not linked to costs remain adequate for the investment undertaken throughout the programming period, an appropriate adjustment method has been provided for,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1Subject matter and scope#

The conditions for reimbursement of the Union contribution to ESF+ and JTF operations on the basis of unit costs and financing not linked to costs, including the types of operations that are covered and the results to be achieved or conditions to be fulfilled, the amount of such reimbursement and the method to adjust that amount are set out in the Annex.

Article 2Eligible expenditure#

The amounts calculated on the basis of this Regulation shall be regarded as eligible expenditure for the purpose of applying Regulation (EU) 2021/1060.

Article 3Entry into force#

This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Conditions for reimbursement of the Union contribution to programmes in accordance with Articles 94(4) and 95(4) of Regulation (EU) 2021/1060 on the basis of unit costs and financing not linked to costs for operations in the areas of formal education, training, employment-related counselling services, in-home care services and community-based day care services and support services for victims of domestic violence and homeless persons

The defined amounts and conditions shall not apply to programmes that have established their own, specific simplified-cost-option or financing-not-linked-to-cost schemes in accordance with Articles 94(3) and 95(2) of Regulation (EU) 2021/1060, for the relevant types of operations.

1. Operations concerning formal education which may be covered by reimbursement on the basis of unit costs

1.1. Types of operations

Formal education operations (from early childhood education to tertiary level including formal vocational education).

1.2. Definition of the indicator triggering payment of the unit costs

Indicator name: Participant in an academic year of formal education

Measurement unit for the indicator: Number of participants with verified enrolment status during an academic year of formal education, differentiated by ISCED classification. Verified enrolment means that proof of the enrolment of the student in the formal education or training course is to be verified by national authorities on two or three occasions during the academic year, in accordance with each Member State’s normal practices and procedures.

International Standard Classification of Education: http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/International_Standard_Classification_of_Education_(ISCED)

1.3. Amounts (in EUR)

The amounts set in Tables 1a and 1b below cover all eligible costs directly related to the provision of core goods and services of formal education, including tuition fees, registration, exam fees, school trips, canteen costs.

Other categories of costs that could be necessary for the implementation of the operation, such as participant allowances, transport, accommodation or other types of support provided to participants are not covered by the unit cost and may thus constitute additional eligible costs in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2021/1060, funds-specific regulations and national eligibility rules.

If the managing authority or intermediate body in charge of implementing a programme applies these unit costs to establish the Union contribution to the programme for one operation that falls under this Regulation, these amounts shall constitute the amount that the Commission reimburses for any formal education operation under the same programme for the same type of beneficiary. Other programmes managed by different intermediate bodies or managing authorities are not concerned by this restriction.

The amounts are for full-time participation in an academic year.

In case of part-time participation, the amount shall be established on the basis of a pro rata reflecting the participation of the student. In case the course lasts less than one academic year, the amount shall be established on the basis of a pro rata reflecting the duration of the course.

For courses lasting at least one full academic year, these amounts may be reimbursed to the Member State on the following basis: 50 % for the first proof of enrolment during the academic year (normally at the beginning of the academic year, in accordance with national rules and practices), 30 % for the second proof of enrolment and 20 % for the third and final proof of enrolment. For those Member States whose national systems provide for this information to be collected only twice per year, or for courses lasting less than one full academic year, it will be 50 % for the first proof of enrolment and 50 % for the second and final proof of enrolment.

Courses may take place on site, online or in a hybrid format, but must always be delivered with both trainer and participants present at the same time.

To account for additional efforts required for and to address the specific needs of third-country nationals or refugees^note, including people having fled the Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, specific values are set out in Table 1b for operations addressing this target group. Those values may be used instead of the corresponding values set out in Table 1a. They are not cumulative values and cannot be used in combination with Table 1a.

The same conditions for reimbursement apply for values set in Tables 1a and 1b. The only difference being the target group, specific eligibility criteria and audit trail should be set for participants in line with specific national definitions and practices.

1.4. Adjustment method

The unit costs and values in Table 1a may be automatically adjusted on an annual basis by applying the Labour Cost Index for education^note. Basis index setting the values in Table 1a is the LCI_{Education2021} (Labour Cost index for 2021). The adjusted values with index of year N will apply for all operations concerned as of Jan 1 of the year N+1

The adjustment shall be based on the following formula:

AdjustedSCO = BaseSCO x LCI_{Education latest}

The amounts set in Table 1b may be automatically adjusted by multiplying the adjusted unit costs in Table 1a by factor 1,10.

2. Operations concerning training of registered unemployed, job-seekers or inactive people

2.1. Types of operations

Any operations concerning training of registered unemployed, jobseekers or inactive people. The training courses may be primarily either institutional or workplace-based, but must be delivered at least partly in an institutional setting.

In the case of institutional training, courses may take place on site, online or in a hybrid format, but must always be delivered with both trainer and participants present at the same time. Workplace-based training courses must always take place on site.

2.2. Definition of the indicator triggering payment of the unit costs

Indicator name: Participants who have successfully completed a training course.

Measurement unit for the indicator: Number of participants who have successfully completed a training course.

A training course shall be considered as ‘successfully completed’ when there is a document demonstrating completion in accordance with national rules or practices. For example, this could be a certificate issued by the training provider or an equivalent document which is acceptable under national rules or practices.

The condition of successfully completing a training course shall not be regarded as being met where a participant only successfully completes some of the modules within a training course.

2.3. Amounts (in EUR)

—the amounts mentioned in Tables 2a and 2b shall be multiplied by the index for the relevant regional Programme;

—where programmes cover more than one region, the amount to be reimbursed shall be in accordance with the region in which the operation or project is implemented.

The amounts set in Tables 2a and 2b below cover all eligible costs directly related to the provision of training courses.

Other categories of costs that could be necessary for the implementation of the operation, such as participant allowances, transport, accommodation or other types of support provided to participants are not covered by the unit cost and may thus constitute additional eligible costs in accordance with the Regulation (EU) 2021/1060, funds specific regulations and national eligibility rules.

If the managing authority or intermediate body in charge of implementing a programme applies these unit costs to establish the Union contribution to the programme for one operation that falls under this Regulation, these amounts shall constitute the amount that the Commission reimburses for any operation concerning training of registered unemployed, job-seekers or inactive people under the same programme managed by the same body for the same type of beneficiary. Other programmes managed by different intermediate bodies or managing authorities are not concerned by this restriction.

To account for additional efforts required for and to address the specific needs of third-country nationals or refugees^note, including people having fled the Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, specific values are set out in Table 2b for operations addressing this target group. Those values may be used instead of the corresponding values set out in Table 2a. They are not cumulative values and cannot be used in combination with Table 2a.

The same conditions for reimbursement apply for values set in both Tables 2a and 2b. The only difference being the target group, specific eligibility criteria and audit trail should be set for participants in line with specific national definitions, rules and practices.

For those Member States listed in Table 5:

2.4. Adjustment method

This unit cost in Table 2a may be automatically adjusted on an annual basis by applying the Labour Cost Index for education^note. The base index used for setting the values in Table 2a is the LCI_{Education2021} (Labour Cost index for 2021). The adjusted values with index of year N will apply for all operations concerned as of Jan 1 of the year N+1

The adjustment shall be based on the following formula: AdjustedSCO = BaseSCO x LCI_{Education latest}

The unit costs set in Table 2b may be automatically adjusted by multiplying the adjusted unit costs in Table 2a by factor 1,10.

Indicator name:

Measurement unit for the indicator:

The number of hours needs to be demonstrated by a verifiable time management system. The number of months and or years need to be demonstrated in accordance with the usual national administrative practices for this type of time registration or justification.

The unit cost covers the provision of counselling services during 1 hour/month/year regardless of the number of persons receiving the service.

When applying the monthly or yearly rate in case of part-time provision, the amount shall be established on a pro rata basis of the monthly or yearly rate.

Specific eligibility criteria and audit trail should be set in line with specific national definitions, rules and practices.

4.3. Amounts (in EUR)

—the amounts mentioned in Tables 4a and 4b shall be multiplied by the index for the relevant regional Programme;

—where programmes cover more than one region, the amount to be reimbursed shall be in accordance with the region in which the operation or project is implemented.

The amounts set in Tables 4a and 4b cover all eligible costs of the operation (i.e. direct staff costs + flat rate of 40 % to cover all other eligible costs), except for allowances paid to participants, which may thus constitute additional eligible costs in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2021/1060, Fund-specific Regulations and national eligibility rules.

If the managing authority or intermediate body in charge of implementing a programme applies these unit costs to establish the Union contribution to the programme for one operation that falls under this Regulation, these amounts shall constitute the amount that the Commission reimburses for any operation concerning the provision of employment-related counselling services under the same programme managed by the same body for the same type of beneficiary. Other programmes managed by different intermediate bodies or managing authorities are not concerned by this restriction.

The amounts set in Tables 6 and Table 7 below cover all eligible costs of the operation^note.

When devising a single operation for the provision of in-home care services and community-based day care services supported by ESF+, Member States are not allowed to pick and choose from the list of eligible activities set out under points 6.1.1 and 6.1.2. Member States are required to provide the full set of standard activities set under point 6.1.2 for the community-based day care service operations to be eligible for reimbursement, or in the case of in-home care at least the activities referred to in points (a), (b) and (c) of point 6.1.1 cumulatively.

Documents required to justify that relevant activities took place, and that all claimed outputs were realised, are those required in accordance with each Member State’s normal practices and procedures. Managing authorities need to clearly define the audit trail.

Examples of justification documents

For in-home care services:

—Carer contract, records of self-reporting by carers; carers assessment by a general practitioner of a person provided with in-home care services or by local social services and/or equivalent documentation

—Activity timesheets of carers (for use of the hourly rate) or other verifiable time management records

For community-based day care services:

—Participant enrolment and attendance records

—Activity timesheets of day care workers (for use of the hourly rate) or other verifiable time management records

If the managing authority or intermediate body in charge of implementing a programme applies these unit costs to establish the Union contribution to the programme for one operation that falls under this Regulation, these amounts shall constitute the amount that the Commission reimburses for any operation concerning the provision of in-home care services and community-based day care services under the same programme for the same type of beneficiary. Other programmes managed by different intermediate bodies or managing authorities are not concerned by this restriction.

6.4. Adjustment method

Unit cost values for both types of care services can be adjusted annually on the basis of Eurostat’s Labour Cost Index (LCI) for the economic activity ‘human health and social work services’. The adjusted values with index of year N will apply for all operations concerned as of Jan 1 of the year N+1

The formula for adjustment: Unit cost value of a Member State X * LCI index of Member State X

The values defined in Tables 8 and Table 9 cover all eligible costs of the operation.

Documents required to justify that relevant activities took place, and that all claimed outcomes were realised are those required in accordance with each Member State’s normal practices and procedures. Managing authorities need to clearly define the audit trail.

Examples of justification documents required:

For services provided to victims of domestic violence and their children:

—Letter from a domestic violence advocate, social service agency, emergency accommodation provider or medical assistance provider on letterhead, or other supporting documentation, such as police report, restraining order or similar documents, medical report of injuries to justify the eligibility of the participant.

—Individual participant file containing date of entry into the operation, name of social worker/counsellor (or similar staff) in the emergency accommodation, details of provided services, signed by the participant and co-signed by the responsible staff member.

For services provided to homeless persons:

—Letter or other form of documentation (such as court order of eviction, letter from local fire or police department, insurance company, former landlord) signed by an outreach worker or service worker from an organisation able to verify that the person in question is, in fact, homeless, or written statement prepared by the participant about the participant’s previous living place (if unable to verify by an outreach worker or service worker).

For outcome-based payments provided to victims of domestic violence and/or homeless persons:

—Copy of tenancy agreements of the permanent accommodation including clear indication of start date and end date of said tenancy (to be signed by the participant and co-signed by the housing agency or equivalent).

If the managing authority or intermediate body in charge of implementing a programme applies these unit costs to establish the Union contribution to the programme for one operation that falls under this Regulation, these amounts shall constitute the amount that the Commission reimburses for any operation providing support to services for victims of domestic violence (and their children) and for homeless persons under the same programme for the same type of beneficiary. Other programmes managed by different intermediary bodies or managing authorities are not concerned by this restriction.

7.4. Adjustment method

The amounts calculated for the provision of services (Table 8) can be adjusted annually based on Eurostat labour costs and HICP inflation on services and accommodation costs. The adjusted values with index of year N will apply for all operations concerned as of Jan 1 of the year N+1.

The formula for adjustment: Unit value for Member State X * LCI and HICP combined index for Member State X

The amounts calculated for outcome-based payments (Table 9) can be adjusted annually, based on the HICP inflation on services and accommodation costs. The adjusted values with index of year N will apply for all operations concerned as of Jan 1 of the year N+1

The formula for adjustment: Unit value for Member State X * HICP index for Member State X
