Kansas lawmakers face TANF funding split amid welfare reform debate
DCF has reduced monthly TANF recipients from 38 963 in 2011 to 18 821 this year while advocates argue stricter eligibility lowers access. Liz Schott of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities notes only 16 of every 100 poor Kansas families receive cash aid, far below the national average. She questions using TANF funds for Brownback reading initiatives given welfare reform performance. Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.

Medicaid rules and low state funding compound delays while VNA Lawrence and other groups note widespread hesitancy to seek help and limited homecare coverage.
