Are there any limitations on the waivers of the institutional-share requirement for the FWS Program?
Yes. Waivers apply only to the non-federal share of student wages. Employers are still responsible for the employer’s share of Social Security, workers’ compensation, retirement, or any other welfare or insurance program the employer must pay for an employee, and for any fringe benefits. A school also must ensure it provides the proper federal and non-federal shares for any portion of its FWS allocation expended under the provisions governing student employment provided by a private for-profit organization (50 percent federal-share limitation). Similarly, the school must provide the proper federal and non-federal shares for administering the Job Location and Development Program (80 percent federal-share limitation). The non-federal share requirement for these two categories of FWS expenditures may not be waived.
