Holiday vouchers are valid until 31 December of the second calendar year following the year of issue.
Vouchers not used during this period may be exchanged within three months of the end of the period of use for holiday vouchers of the same value.
Holiday vouchers which have not been presented for reimbursement by service providers before the end of the third month following the expiry of their period of validity will lapse.
The equivalent value will be allocated to disadvantaged social categories, in particular in the form of holiday grants.
The beneficiary may, at his reasoned request presented before the issue of the vouchers, obtain reimbursement of his contribution to the purchase of the vouchers from the organisation which proposes to allocate them to him.
