Which funds use an allocated rate?

Certain funds use an allocated rate rather than actual when charging fringe costs. These are 133, 135, 142, 144, and 161 funds. UW System establishes the rates for the gift and federal funds but 142 is done by the College of Agriculture. (Currently, funds 135 and 161 also used the established rates for gifts and grants.) When the allocated rate is used, a pool account is used at a Processing Center level to post the actual fringe costs, and the ‘transferred’ allocated dollars from the individual accounts to cover these costs. Actual fringe costs are never charged to the individual accounts when the fund is using an allocated rate. This process is only performed for the former PPC campuses and System Administration. The Warf campuses use local processes to adjust the fringe cost to the allocated rate for their gift and federal funds.
