Hi Mary,
Radford University has never had a fringe benefit rate. Our indirect
cost (F&A) agreement states in the Special Remarks section that, "Fringe
benefits are specifically identified to each employee and are charged
individually as direct costs." It then goes on to state that fringe
benefits include: FICA, Unemployment Compensation, Health Insurance,
Life Insurance, and Pension Costs.
Feel free to call if you have questions.
Janet

Subject: [RESADM-L] Fringe Benefit Rates
We are a relatively new small College and are preparing our indirect
cost
proposal for submission to DHHS but were wondering what are the rules
concerning fringe benefit rates. Are we required to have them
established
by DHHS at the same time as our indirect rates are established or can we
use actual fringe benefit rates?
Thanks for your assistance/advice in advance.
