    State legislators question SRS changes

    TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) Members of a Kansas legislative oversight committee ask officials with the Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services to explain changes its making in the way it administers programs to needy and disabled residents.

    The House-Senate Committee on Home and Community Based Services quizzed SRS staff on Tuesday about how the agency was handling $6.6 million in new state revenues to help residents with disabilities.

    The Lawrence Journal-World reports that legislators and advocates for the disabled were concerned about how SRS was setting priorities for distributing the funds.

    SRS Deputy Secretary Pedro Moreno said the new funds would target residents who receive no state services before those who already get some assistance.

    The new funding will provide additional services that would help developmentally disabled residents stay in their homes.
