COVID TAB

The COVID TAB on your Service’s Main screen, holds all the COVID 19 CCS payments. These payments started Apr 6th 2020 and will continue (if eligible) until June 28 2020.

Wk 1 wasn’t rounded. Wk 2: Rounding started and if eligible you would have received a double payment. Teh double payment was wk 2 plus the week ending June 28th paid in advance. wk 3: Is your regular payment

Larger than expected COVID CCS Payments

Around about the 6th May some services received a large sum, in some cases more than 4 times their regular amount, then 8/5 a smaller but still larger than regular CCS payments

We have asked CCS for some information regarding these payments. And the following was their reply.

Job keeper is not paid through CCS and therefore these sums are not job keeper payments.

CCS have asked Education for formal communications on this matter. They are aware of a decision to broaden and, in some cases, to increase or back pay payments. CCS are not sure what communications have been supplied to the sector in relation to these payments and particularly to the Independent schools component of the sector.

We hope to have some clearer communications from Education/CCS in the next 48 hours and will add it here if it is relevant.

Bottom line: if a Service is concerned about the amount they have received (lower/higher than expected) they should contact the Education CCS Helpdesk.
