Our GA's are considered part-time employees (they work a maximum of 20
hours per week) and as such are not eligible for health insurance.
We don't have this in a written policy or procedure. If your
institution does not do it as a standard practice, then I don't think
I'd allow it for this purpose either.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Health Insurance for Graduate Research Assistants
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.
