All proposals must use the federally approved fringe benefit rates in effect at the time the proposal is submitted.
UVMClick proposal budgeting system will calculate the fringe automatically, using the most current rates in effect at the time of proposal creation.
Fringe Benefits include such items as FICA, Worker's Compensation, Unemployment Compensation, insurance, pensions, tuition remission and employee assistance programs.
UVM’s fringe rates are approved annually by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and included in the F&A Rate Agreement (PDF).
