The new measure expands aid eligibility for grandparents and relatives, with nearly 34 000 Kansas grandparents estimated to have grandchildren under 18 living with them. It also projects about 1 400 families and 2 400 children qualifying. The law lets Medicaid facility patients keep 50 from Social Security, up from 30. It requires SRS to request wildlife licenses denial for parents behind about 500 in child support until payment plans are made.
