Describe how the State agency ensures that costs attributed to the E&T program are not supplanting funds used for other existing educational programs. SNAP E&T will not reimburse providers for tuition for any courses where otherwise available at no cost to the participant. SNAP E&T providers are required to use all the other grants and scholarships available to the participants first. NMHCA monitors all contracts and funding at three different levels. The SNAP E&T Management Analyst reviews all budgets, invoices and financial information and keeps it all organized in a live spreadsheet. The information is then reviewed by HCA’s management team and ASD before it is approved and paid out. NMHCA completes annual State Management Evaluations to ensure funds are not supplanted. 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.
