Can ATR funds be used to supplant existing funds?
ATR was designed to supplement existing programs. Supplantation is not permissible under the program. An example of supplanting a pre-existing program is as follows: If a State or Tribal entity were already receiving funds from Medicaid to provide methadone treatment, and proposed to use ATR funds for this purpose while reallocating those Medicaid funds for another purposed, this would be interpreted as supplantation.
