Auditors have released the second part of a report on issues with Kansas’ Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), identifying $700,000 to $1.2 million in benefits paid to individuals who may not live in Kansas. The audit found that federal law limitations hindered the Kansas Department for Children and Families from sharing data with auditors, impacting the identification of out-of-state SNAP recipients. The audit suggests adding photos to EBT cards to help verify recipients, but the DCF stated that legislative funding would be needed for implementation, citing potential confusion and additional costs. Despite challenges, the DCF is committed to reducing payments to out-of-state recipients and leveraging tools to address program complexities.
