Not supplanting. Describe how the State agency ensures that costs attributed to the E&T program are not supplanting funds used for other existing educational programs. FAET reviews all invoices to ensure that 1) only agreed upon services are included and 2) E&T is not being charged for items that are eligible for payment through other funds. As the payer of last resort, FAET EPB is not used to cover educational related expenses for any services available with other federal, state, or local funding sources. Cost parity. Describe how the State agency ensures that costs charged to E&T do not exceed the costs charged for non-E&T participants. All Service Agreements must meet DCF’s established rates, or the rates offered to the general public, whichever is less. If the cost to provide a service is less than the established rate or there is not an established rate, the rate that is tied to the Service Agreement will always be what is charged to the general public for the same service or the lesser of the two. For example: community college courses and trainings are charged at the same tuition and fee rates as the general public (i.e. comparable tuition). 1/29/26, 8:20 AM State Plan KS FY26 - Amendment 1 https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-ksfy26stateplan//index.html 48/71
