Projected Annual Participation. Projection should reflect a number of unduplicated individuals. 10 Estimated Annual Component Administrative Cost $10,030.00 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. The 50/50 match funds used for educational/training activities are from a non-federal sources from third-party providers, which DPHHS confirms during third-party provider annual plans and invoice reviews. The intermediary provider works with third-party partners to leverage existing funds, so that 50/50 match is for expenses otherwise not reimbursed or paid for by another entity. For example, if an other program covered education fees, the E&T provider would use funds for other necessary participant reimbursements such as required text books or transportation to attend classes. Federal E&T funds used for activities within the education component are not supplanting non-Federal funds for existing educational services and activities. 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. SNAP E&T participants are not charged more than non- E&T participants for educational services or activities. If a class is not just SNAP E&T participants, it is cost allocated proportionally. During management evaluations the SNAP E&T Coordinator verifies with the training provider or educational institution that SNAP E&T participants are charged the same cost as non-SNAP E&T participants. SNAP E&T Coordinator also verifies that costs are reasonable and necessary for the client’s participation in the component. 1/29/26, 8:17 AM State Plan MT FY26 - Amendment 1 https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-mtfy26stateplan//index.html 67/103
