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. As part of sub-award contracts and the provider handbook, providers are notified that federal funds cannot be used. Providers are using funding sources such as GAP funding or their agencies' donations. Invoices are received by partners monthly and are reviewed. When reviewing invoices, the program manager will ask the E&T Provider to verify and provide documentation for various lines of the invoice. Partners are notified that SNAP is a payer of last resort and that other funds must be used first. Cost parity.
