• the Partner/LTP participates as 'Not receiving EU Funding'
• the Partner/LTP participates as 'Not receiving EU Funding' by requesting zero funding

The Partner/LTP participated as 'not receiving EU Funding'/'not receiving EU Funding by requesting zero funding' and changed its status to 'receiving EU Funding'; the elapsed time of not receiving EU Funding doesn't cover the full previous reporting period. In this situation, the accepted contribution of the Partner/LTP for current period and adjustments will be added in order to calculate the partner share amount at the payment of the balance. 

The Partner/LTP changed its status during one or more contiguous previous periods

The Partner/LTP participated as 'not receiving EU Funding'/'not receiving EU Funding by requesting zero funding' and changed its status to 'receiving EU Funding'; the elapsed time of not receiving EU Funding fully covers one or more previous reporting periods. In this situation, the adjustment/s for the period when the Partner/LTP was fully 'not receiving EU Funding'/'not receiving EU Funding by requesting zero funding' is/are not allowed.
