Funded hours and redundancy

I'm currently on maternity leave, going through the redundancy process. I have my elder child in nursery, she's just turned 3 so due to get 30 hours from September.
My last date of employment is likely to be end of July, but I'll get my final pay in August payroll.

I have to reconfirm my eligibility between 16 August - 12 Sept.

How does it work if I'm technically not employed anymore, but I'll meet the earnings criteria for that period (due to getting paid in August).

Hey! Jumping on this really late, but I'm in a very similar situation right now and was wondering how this all worked out for you? I really don't want to take my daughter out of nursery because she loves it and we wouldn't get back in again, but we just can't afford it without any funding!

Sorry to hear that, it's a horrible situation to be in. It all ended up OK for me in the end - I tried to drag the redundancy process out as long as I could, my last day was just after my reconfirmation window opened, and then by the time I had to reconfirm three months after that I had another job offer lined up. I think there's a grace period too, whereby you receive funding until the end of the term even if you're not working.
