How are indirect cost rates determined?
Indirect costs are costs incurred to benefit more than one program or objective not readily assignable to the programs. The indirect cost rate is negotiated between an LEA and DPI s Division for Finance and Management. The IDEA Recovery budget software allows an LEA to enter in an approved indirect cost rate up to its negotiated amount. If the LEA does not have an approved indirect cost rate, the LEA cannot claim indirect costs. Additional information on indirect costs is available at http://dpi.wi.gov/sfs/indirect.html.
