Composite Benefit Rates (CBR) are flat rates charged to faculty funds to support the benefit costs for their personnel, regardless of which medical plan the personnel chooses or how many dependents they claim. The CBR charge is different from what an employee pays for their health plans.

Consistent with the UCPath goals of standardizing processes and increasing efficiency, UCR has established fringe benefit rates that are assessed based on a percentage of an employee's gross salary. The CBR Group is assigned according to specific Job Data attributes that do not vary based on individual employee benefit selections.

Here is the link to current benefit rates.

Please note that the research office dictates proposals use Fiscal Year 2019 CBRs.
