Extension of application deadline: “Fixkostenzuschuss 800.000” and “Verlustersatz Phase I”

The application for the second tranche of the “Fixkostenzuschuss 800.000” (FKZ 800.000) and “Verlustersatz Phase I” had to be submitted for all applicants by March 31, 2022 (final settlement). However, an application deadline extension for the above-mentioned grant instruments has now been published by regulation as of April 20, 2022. The extension of the application deadline applies to the following cases:

• For grant applicants who have requested for an advance on the "FKZ 800.000" (advance FKZ 800.000) under the "Ausfallbonus" and have neither submitted a mandatory final settlement of the FKZ 800,000 nor repaid the advance FKZ 800,000 to COFAG.
• For grant applicants who have submitted a request for advance payment of the "FKZ 800.000" under the first tranche, but who have neither submitted a request for final payment by application under the second tranche (final settlement) nor withdrawn the request for advance payment submitted under the first tranche and repaid any amount of payment already received to COFAG.
• For grant applicants who have submitted a request for advance payment of the "Verlustersatz Phase I" under the first tranche, but who have neither submitted a request for final payment by application under the second tranche (final settlement) nor withdrawn the request for advance payment submitted under the first tranche and repaid any amount of payment already received to COFAG.

Conclusion

In these cases, grant applicants can now submit the missing payment request (final settlement) by application to COFAG until June 30, 2022. In addition, applicants who have already submitted a payment request (final settlement) under the second tranche by March 31, 2022, can now amend this application by submitting another one until June 30, 2022.
