SNAP E&T Cost Allocation Tools
SNAP Employment and Training (E&T) programs are often funded by state or local funds that are used for a variety of purposes. Each state is responsible for having a plan to accurately separate costs. Cost allocation involves a process of breaking down actual costs incurred by their funding sources and purposes so that only allowable costs associated with operating SNAP E&T are billed to the program.
The Cost Allocation Brief is designed to guide states through the following: developing a shared understanding with their partners of what cost allocation means in SNAP E&T, creating clear methodologies for allocating costs and setting expectations in contracts with intermediaries and providers, and overseeing and supporting accurate cost allocationacross the state agency, intermediaries, and providers.
