FY 2008 Fringe Benefit Rates*

To: URA Announce List
Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2007
From: Susan Boone
Subject: FY 2008 Fringe Benefit Rates


The Fringe Benefit Rates for Fiscal Year 2008 (7/1/07-6/30/08) have now been approved by DHHS.

20.3% Federal Benefits Eligible
22.6% Non-federal Benefits Eligible (2.3% for dependent tuition remission)
7.8% Benefits Ineligible

The new date for the F & A rate agreement is 3/15/07 (replacing the previous agreement dated 2/17/06). This is the date that should appear on NIH applications. [And just a reminder, only the fringe benefit rate has changed--not the F & A rate.]

The new F & A cost rate agreement and the FY 2008 fringe rate breakdown will be posted on the URA website as soon as possible.

*Please note these are not the rates the University proposed, and are therefore different than the rates publicized in our January email.
