Generally yes, to the extent they are reasonable and written down.
Under FAR 31.205-6, fringe benefits including employee insurance are allowable to the extent they are reasonable and required by law, an employer-employee agreement or an established policy of the contractor.
The short answer, then the detail.
How it works
- A written policy sets eligibility and contribution.
- The same rules apply on government and commercial work.
- A benchmark shows the cost is comparable.
What to watch
- Whether a given cost is allowable on your contract is a question for your contracts counsel or auditor.
- The documentation is usually the exposure, not the benefit itself.
What CFH does
- Writes the policy and contribution rules down.
- Benchmarks the plan against comparable employers.
