Audit faults SRS in $2 million welfare overpayments
TOPEKA Kan AP A legislative post audit report finds Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services overpaid or improperly issued general assistance checks totaling about $2 million in the year ended June 30. 87 percent of overpayments went undetected until flagged by the agency. The audit urges tightened quality controls and notes current errors waste taxpayer dollars while struggling to meet the program’s social service goals. Robert C Harder SRS secretary backs stronger controls and denies illegal varying payments. General assistance, funded entirely by Kansas, has cost about $57 million in five years and serves those not eligible for federal programs.
