Health Insurance for Graduate Research Assistants Amy Deborde 03 Nov 2009 10:16 EST

Good morning,

Our office recently received a budget allocating funds under the "Other
Expense" category to provide health insurance to a Graduate Research
Assistant.

It is my understanding that, per the OMB A-122 circular, health insurance is
unallowable unless consistently applied throughout the entire organization.  At
present, this is not a consistent practice.

How would your institution(s) process this request?  Would you deem this an
allowable cost?   Any policies/procedures you have to guide such requests?

Thanks in advance,
Amy Deborde.
