flag Kansans protested SB 363, a bill requiring quarterly recertification for public assistance, fearing it would harm vulnerable populations despite exemptions.

flag Kansans protested Senate Bill 363 on March 12, 2026, opposing its requirement for quarterly recertification of public assistance programs and elimination of self-attestation. flag Advocates warned the changes would create significant barriers for vulnerable populations, including people with disabilities and mental illness, increasing the risk of coverage loss due to missed paperwork or delays. flag The bill would mandate state verification of income, residency, and household size, expand data-sharing across agencies, and track out-of-state benefit use and Medicaid enrollment. flag While supporters cited potential cost savings and federal alignment, opponents argued the measures would disrupt essential care and impose unnecessary burdens. flag Exemptions apply to pregnant people, children, seniors, and those on home and community-based waivers, but not to individuals with mental illness.
