Most common Apprenticeship denial reasons

DEN-013 — Same training period or costs claimed under multiple programs (non-duplication violation). Fix: Verify no overlapping date ranges for same trainee under different programs. If stacking intended, ensure different training activities and different cost bases. Sequence programs to avoid date overlap. Use the scanner above to see whether your Maryland worksite qualifies for Apprenticeship right now, and what the estimated recoverable amount is for your industry and headcount. If you are already running training that could qualify retroactively, most Maryland boards still accept claims within their submission window even if you did not pre-enroll, with one exception: OJT requires the agreement to be signed BEFORE training begins, full stop.
