Kansas tightening rules for adults receiving food assistance [View all]

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas will be tightening its rules for adults receiving food assistance even though critics have
warned that its new law is so sloppily written that it will apply to thousands more people than supporters intended.

The Republican-controlled Legislature on Thursday overrode Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly's veto of a GOP bill imposing
a new job-training requirement for non-disabled adults. The changes will take effect July 1.

GOP lawmakers have long argued that tighter rules for people receiving public assistance, coupled with state-provided
job training, moves people from being dependent on the state's help into jobs.

In her veto message earlier this month, Kelly said the measure would “unnecessarily burden” some 30,000 adults.
Republicans have put the number affected at less than half that, or about 12,000 adults.
