Kansas welfare officials seek 20 million in supplemental funds
Kansas welfare director Harder and a legislative subcommittee urged a roughly 20 million dollar supplemental appropriation to restore pre cut payments across aid categories. He defended targeted reductions to cash aid medical care and unemployment benefits as law compliant while criticizing across the board cuts. He said the department will continue to reveal and publicize errors found by its quality control program and to operate with minimal abuses. He noted Medicaid funding threats from federal officials if emergency only payments persist and described the fiscal year pressure as constant fires to manage.
