The bill mandates the secretaries for children and families and health and environment in Kansas to enhance the verification process for eligibility in the food assistance program. This includes entering into data matching agreements with commercial payroll data providers to obtain real-time employment and income data. Additionally, the secretaries are required to regularly review data from various state and federal sources, such as the Department of Labor and the Department of Revenue, to monitor changes in circumstances that may affect eligibility for public assistance programs. The bill also stipulates that the legislative coordinating council must approve any data matching agreements presented by the secretaries.

Furthermore, the bill requires the secretary for children and families to publicly report on a quarterly basis the findings from noncompliance and fraud investigations related to food assistance. This report will include aggregate data on households investigated for fraud, referrals for prosecution, improper payments, and funds recovered. The intent of the bill is to ensure more accurate and efficient monitoring of eligibility for public assistance programs, thereby reducing fraud and ensuring that assistance is provided to those who truly qualify.
