The validity period for making reimbursement claims for the Continuing Education Fund will be extended from two to four years from tomorrow.

The Labour & Welfare Bureau said today this is one of the second-phase improvement measures to enhance the fund's operation. A maximum of four claims will also be allowed within the four-year validity period.

The extension arrangement will apply to all applicants who have not claimed the maximum amount of $10,000, including former applicants whose validity period has already expired.

The Office of the Continuing Education Fund will soon issue letters to eligible applicants on the arrangement details.
