Supplement Not Supplant What does "supplement, not supplant" mean? "Supplement, not supplant" is the phrase used to describe the requirement that MEP funds may be used only to supplement the level of funds that would, in the absence of MEP funds, be made available from non-Federal sources for the education of children participating in MEP projects. SEAs and local operating agencies may not use MEP funds to supplant (i.e., replace) non-Federal funds. [Also known as “in addition to.”] Office of Migrant Education, Non-regulatory Guidance, 2010
