The methodology used to determine the total cost to fulfill the pledge was to take the estimated SNAP E&T budget and participants to determine an estimated annual cost per participant. This looked at administrative cost and participant reimbursement cost. The projected administrative cost to meet the estimated pledge participation levels is $639,581 in administrative funds. This is the estimated cost to provide services to 176 new participants. This cost was determined by reviewing the current estimated cost per participant and proposed budgets provided by ICAN providers. The proposed budgets include an increase in administrative needs due to the increase in participants. Vermont estimates spending about $195,822.88 of the total participant reimbursement budget to meet this pledge. This is based on the current estimated participant reimbursement cost per participant. 1/29/26, 10:27 AM State Plan VT FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-vtfy26stateplan//index.html 159/159
