Residency
The requirement that a learner has been resident in the relevant area for a qualifying period and has a status allowing them to be funded.
In full
Residency rules require a learner to have lived in the relevant area for a qualifying period before the start of their learning and to hold a status that permits public funding.
The detailed categories and evidence expectations are set out in the funding regulations for the year, and they change, so check the current document rather than relying on a remembered rule.
Where this comes up
diagnostic
A funded learner has no eligibility evidence on file
Funding has been claimed for the learner, but the college cannot produce the evidence that they were eligible for it. The claim may be entirely correct and still fail, because at audit the evidence is the claim.

Adult Skills Fund: earning, evidencing and reconciling
An allocation you have to earn, with eligibility that must be evidenced before you claim, and a reconciliation at the end that can reduce what you keep.
diagnostic
An aim is on the ILR but generates no funding
The aim validates and appears on the ILR, but generates no earnings. Validation and funding are different tests: a record can be perfectly valid and still not qualify for funding.
