Qualified graduate student appointees (those appointed at 37.5% or more for at least one full semester) or qualified fellowship recipients (those with a stipend of $2987 or more per semester).

  1. Health Insurance for Student Academic Appointees and Fellowship Recipients is a flat fee of $1365 per year ($519 for the first semester and $846 for the second semester continuing through the summer).  Health insurance should be placed in the employee benefit category of the budget and included in the base for calculating indirect cost.  The health insurance charge must be pro-rated to the grant or contract account based on the allocation of salary.  Each semester can be pro-rated on a monthly basis, if needed (e.g. Fall semester @ $104/month, Spring semester @ $169/month).  The 2006-07 required stipend for a fellowship to be enrolled in the student health plan is $2987 or more per semester.
     
  2. Fee remissions should be budgeted in accordance with Important Notice 92-4. http://www.ovpra.indiana.edu/cg/imp_notice/92-4.asp
