    The limitations on the Federal Government's share are different--in 
type and amount--for member support costs and program operating costs.
    (a) Member support: The Federal share, including AmeriCorps and 
other Federal funds, of member support costs, which include the living 
allowance required under Sec.  2522.240(b)(1) of this chapter, FICA, 
unemployment insurance (if required under State law), and worker's 
compensation (if required under State law), is limited as follows:
    (1) If you are a professional corps described in Sec.  
2522.240(b)(2)(i) of this chapter, you may not use AmeriCorps funds for 
the living allowance.
    (2) Your share of member support costs must be non-Federal cash.
    (3) AmeriCorps's share of health care costs may not exceed 85 
percent.
    (b) Program operating costs. The AmeriCorps share of program 
operating costs may not exceed 67 percent. These costs include 
expenditures (other than member support costs described in paragraph 
(a) of this section) such as staff, operating expenses, internal 
evaluation, and administration costs.
    (1) You may provide your share of program operating costs with 
cash, including other Federal funds (as long as the other Federal 
agency permits its funds to be used as match), or third-party in-kind 
contributions.
    (2) Contributions, including third party in-kind must:
    (i) Be verifiable from your records;
    (ii) Not be included as contributions for any other Federally 
assisted program;
    (iii) Be necessary and reasonable for the proper and efficient 
accomplishment of your program's objectives; and
    (iv) Be allowable under applicable Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) cost principles.
    (3) You may not include the value of direct community service 
performed by volunteers, but you may include the value of services 
contributed by volunteers to your organizations for organizational 
functions such as accounting, audit, and training of staff and 
AmeriCorps programs.''
