Projected Annual Participation. Projection should reflect a number of unduplicated individuals. 336 Estimated Annual Component Administrative Cost $547,780.00 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. Minnesota has consulted with the Minnesota Department of Education and Adult Basic Education programs. They have advised that for individuals under age 21 there is a state obligation to provide high school equivalency and other basic foundational skills instruction. Minnesota does not allow individuals under age 21 to participate in EPB. Minnesota requires providers to include in their work plan assurance that costs attributed to the E&T program are not supplanting funds used for other existing programs. This is reviewed during annual monitoring. 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. Minnesota requires providers to attest in their work plan that they are ensuring cost parity. This is reviewed during annual monitoring.
