Estimated Annual Component Administrative Cost $7,760,689.00 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. Contractors are provided with guidance prohibiting the use of funds to supplant existing state entitlements. Generally, if a service is available from a reputable provider in the community at no charge, contractors are expected to refer the participant to the no-charge provider and bill DHS only for the cost of providing case management, supportive services, and supplemental activities that are provided to the SNAP participant, but not available to the general public. 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. In the SNAP KEYS program, tuition is generally not paid for with SNAP E&T funds, and KEYS coordinators are expected to refer students to free resources available on campus to all students. KEYS contractors then use funds to pay for case management, supportive services, and additional activities and enhanced services (not available to non-E&T participants) that address the unique needs of the E&T participant population. SNAP JETS, which are community-based organizations, are required to bill DHS for SNAP E&T participants consistently with the amount charged per non-E&T student to their other charitable donations or grants.
