SAGE Budget only recognizes the approved benefit rates for the current fiscal year. When the preliminary rates are officially approved, you can update the benefit rates in your budget. To make sure your revised budget is submitted to the sponsor, update it prior to OSP review.

To do this, click the Salary and Wages line of your budget worksheet, click the name of the person whose benefit rate you want to update, and navigate to the first budget period in which the rates need to be updated. Under Benefits, click Update Rate. This will update the benefit rate for this person for the current and all future budget periods.

Be sure to update the rate for each affected person included in your budget.
