FY27 Final Fringe Benefit Rates take effect on pay periods BW15 and MN8.
The FY27 Fringe Benefit Rates have been finalized and negotiated with the Federal Government. At the time of the proposal’s submission a slightly larger increase in the Health, Life, Dental (HLD) portion of the fringe benefit rate was expected based on available information. During recent rate negotiations we received more current information which resulted in a lower HLD rate negotiated with the Federal government. The FY 27 Final Fringe Benefit Rates schedule provides detailed rate application guidelines for F&A, tuition, and fringe benefits.
Current and historical Urbana rates documents are available from the “Rate Schedules (F&A, Fringe Benefits, Tuition)” page of the Business & Finance Web site. The rate posting related to this specific communication is named under the “UIUC” section, https://www.busfin.uillinois.edu/accounting_budgeting/rate_schedules_development/rate_schedules
Sponsored Programs Administration staff are available to assist with any additional questions on rate applications and can be reached at 217-333-2187 or spa@illinois.edu.
