SB 363 requires Kansas health and children's agencies to verify eligibility for food and medical assistance using mandatory data-sharing agreements with state agencies (e.g., vital records for death confirmation, labor data for employment changes). It prohibits self-attestation for eligibility, mandates quarterly medical assistance eligibility reviews, and requires immediate termination upon death confirmation. The bill also increases the age limit for able-bodied adults without dependents in medical assistance, restricts work requirement exemptions, and limits retroactive enrollment. These changes directly affect Kansas residents applying for or receiving food or medical assistance programs administered by the state.

SB 151: Requiring the secretary of health and environment to request a waiver from the United States centers for medicare and medicaid services to end participation in certain expenditure authorities under the KanCare demonstration.

SB 151 requires Kansas' Secretary of Health and Environment to request a federal waiver from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) by July 1, 2025, to end participation in four specific Medicaid services under the KanCare demonstration program. These services include expanded behavioral health care, residential/substance use disorder treatment, continuous eligibility for parents, and extended coverage for youth transitioning out of children's health insurance (CHIP). If CMS grants the waiver, Kansas must immediately stop funding these services; if denied, the state must reapply annually. The bill directly affects Kansas Medicaid beneficiaries currently receiving these services through the KanCare program.
