OUr organization recently process an application to the PVA.  In their guidelin
es and noted on their budget forms was a cap on fringe benefits.  We veiwed
this as rather unsual and quite alarming as our fringe benefits are comprised
of ONLY statutory and Union Negotiated costs that we must pay.  I called
the PVA and stated that we would be happy to negoitate/cost share other
costs but fringe benefits are not negotiable.   Have other organizations been
running into this issue if so how are you handling the cap on FB?
