Amount and funding terms
Amount indicated in the catalogue: coverage of the social security charges for the job for a maximum of 18 months.

Key point: the rate/cap mentioned is catalogue, not a guarantee of award. Have the expenditure base, calculation, available caps, combination rules and VAT treatment confirmed by the funder before finalising the financing plan.
