Update: Consolidated Fringe Rates Approval

March 7, 2023

Source: OSP Blog

Harvard has received approval from the Federal government to consolidate our 6 fringe benefit rates into 3 rates beginning in FY2024.

Federal and non-federal outgoing proposals should now use the consolidated rates below.

Pending Signed Rate Agreement Letter

We anticipate receiving the signed agreement by the end of the month. During the interim period while we await the official DHHS/CAS FY24 F&A/Fringe Benefit rate letter, there may be Federal proposals that require a copy of the rate agreement or the date of the agreement.

In those circumstances, please use the following language:

“Harvard’s consolidated fringe benefit rates have been negotiated with DHHS/CAS. On March 2, 2023 DHHS/CAS approved the consolidated rates and instructed Harvard to use these rates pending the official rate agreement.”

Note: If you have any questions, please contact Judith Ryan, Director of Cost Analysis.
