Kansans抗议SB 363,该法案要求每季度对公共援助进行重新认证,担心尽管有豁免,但会伤害弱势群体。 Kansans protested SB 363, a bill requiring quarterly recertification for public assistance, fearing it would harm vulnerable populations despite exemptions.

Kansans于2026年3月12日对参议院第363号法案提出抗议,反对要求每季度重新认证公共援助方案和消除自我证明。 Kansans protested Senate Bill 363 on March 12, 2026, opposing its requirement for quarterly recertification of public assistance programs and elimination of self-attestation. 代言人警告说,这些改变会给包括残疾人和精神疾病患者在内的弱势群体造成重大障碍,增加因未完成文书工作或延误而失去保险的风险。 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. 该法案将授权国家对收入、居住和家庭规模进行核实,扩大各机构之间的数据共享,并跟踪国家以外福利的使用情况和医疗补助的注册情况。 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. 虽然支持者列举了潜在的成本节约和联邦调整,但反对者认为,这些措施会扰乱基本护理,并造成不必要的负担。 While supporters cited potential cost savings and federal alignment, opponents argued the measures would disrupt essential care and impose unnecessary burdens. 豁免适用于孕妇、儿童、老年人以及家庭和社区放弃豁免的豁免,但不适用于精神病患者。 Exemptions apply to pregnant people, children, seniors, and those on home and community-based waivers, but not to individuals with mental illness.
