Projected Annual Participation. Projection should reflect a number of unduplicated individuals. 451 Estimated Annual Component Administrative Cost $1,058,404.00 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. To adhere to Federal cost principles, the State refrains from using funding for State/local general costs, including public education. OK SNAP Works has established controls to ensure non-supplanting, including: • Communication of rules during provider onboarding regarding the use of SNAP E&T funds, both in written and verbal form. • Providing providers with the FNS Employment and Training Toolkit, which outlines specific rules regarding charges for the E&T education component. • education component must not replace non-Federal funds for existing educational services and activities. • OK SNAP Works also requests a list of non-Federal funding sources from potential providers and conducts reviews during provider Management Evaluations (MEs) to verify that costs attributed to OK SNAP Works do not result in supplanting. • The State ensures that costs attributed to the E&T program do not supplant funds used for other existing education programs. 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 providers are required to ensure that fees charged to SNAP E&T clients are identical to those charged to individuals not participating in SNAP E&T. This includes documenting in the client's case file that the amount billed to E&T clients matches the amount charged to non-SNAP E&T clients. Controls implemented by OK SNAP Works to guarantee cost parity involve comprehensive communication during provider onboarding regarding the utilization of SNAP E&T funds. Providers receive an FNS Employment and Training Toolkit containing specific guidelines for the E&T education component. During annual provider Management Evaluations (MEs), OK SNAP Works staff review tuition receipts to verify the amounts charged to SNAP E&T clients. They also examine provider course catalogs to confirm that tuition charged to non-E&T participants is equivalent to that charged to SNAP E&T clients. OK SNAP Works protocol ensures that E&T clients are not charged more than the general public for the same service. The OK SNAP Works Provider Handbook specifies, "If any of the educational services or activities are available to persons other than E&T participants, the costs charged to E&T must not exceed the costs charged for non-E&T participants." Providers furnish funding proof for participants through billing statements for both SNAP E&T participants and non-participants, which are then compared to the costs invoiced by the provider. 1/29/26, 9:31 AM State Plan OK FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-okfy26stateplan//index.html 70/156
