Fringe Benefit Language for Budget Justification

Update on Fringe Benefit Rates for Proposals:

During the interim period while we await the official DHHS/CAS FY20 F&A/Fringe Benefit rate letter, there may be proposals that require a copy of the letter or the date of the letter.  In those circumstances, please us the following language:

“The fringe rates have been negotiated with DHHS/CAS, and they have instructed Harvard to use these rates pending the official rate letter.” 

We anticipate getting the signed agreement by the end of the month. If you have any questions, please contact Judith Ryan, Director of Cost Analysis.
