Aid for future employment is granted for a minimum of twelve months and a maximum of thirty-six months, without being able to exceed the term of the employment contract.
Where the aid was initially granted for a period of less than thirty-six months, it may be extended up to this maximum period.
By way of exception, in order to allow the beneficiary to complete a vocational training course, an extension of the aid beyond the maximum duration of thirty-six months may be authorised by the persons mentioned in 1° and 2° of article L. 5134-19-1. The duration of the extension may not exceed the end of the action concerned.
