This bill mandates the exchange of information and documents between the Secretary for Children and Families and the Office of the Inspector General to enhance the detection, investigation, and prosecution of fraud in cash assistance, childcare assistance, and food assistance programs. The agencies are required to share various types of documents and information, including eligibility determinations and electronic benefit card transaction data, to facilitate these efforts. The exchanged information is strictly limited to fraud-related purposes and must be completed within a reasonable timeframe upon request.

Additionally, the bill directs the Secretary of Health and Environment and the Secretary for Children and Families to implement a data system coordination by July 1, 2026, to enable the automatic issuance of benefits for children enrolled in the Kansas medical assistance program who qualify for the SUN bucks program. This coordination aims to streamline the process by allowing benefits to be issued without requiring a separate household application, provided eligibility can be verified through existing data sources. The bill also emphasizes compliance with federal privacy and confidentiality requirements in the electronic data sharing process.
