16-19 Bursary/EMA Questions Thread

Ok, tell me, have you recieved your Notice of Entitlement yet? Have you handed that in to your college? Have you made sure your attendance is good enough to recieve it yet? Are your college actually processing it?

Because if you have said yes to all them questions, well you should be recieving it. To be honest, if your college is processing it, EMA are having no problems sending the payment, unless your the odd one who gets missed.

Is the NoE a sheet of paper which has 2 identical forms on ( 1 a learner copy and 1 a provider copy?) because if so then yes, I need to hand that 'NoE' in still. And yes I have had 100% attendance. My friends haven't received theirs yet. Is it because I haven't handed the 'NoE' in to my head of 6th form? And if I hand it in tomorrow will they send all the EMA that is backlogged, if any?

Our college told us how the EMA people are run by a different company now and its a national crisis going on about sending the NOE and how they hired more people to help and they also said that that if you hand in your NOE you will receive all your payments from the weeks you attended college.

You won't get any money without handing the NoE in, because your college won't know that you shoudl be recieving it. Yeah they should backdate your payments, but make sure you tell your Head of Sixth Form (or whoever) to do this, because they might forget.

what happens when you move to a different 6th form?

You might have to get a new NoE, or at least a new reference number from the EMA people. Because your new sixth form won't be authorised to give you payments without the EMA people knowing.

Should be moving within the next week providing that the other 6th form can offer me all my subjects.

But I haven't even had my NoE yet so I haven't had any of my EMA so far.

If you haven't had your NoE filled in at your current college then you don't need to call up the EMA people and get it changed, just get your NoE (when you receive it) filled in by your new college.

I changed colleges too, and when I called them up, they said I didn't have to :rolleyes:
