TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Supporters and opponents have weighed in on a proposed bill that would give the Kansas Department of Children and Families secretary the authority to cross-check lottery winnings against a list of welfare recipients.

The department’s economic and employment services director, Sandra Kimmons, said at a Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee hearing Monday that anyone who wins more than $10,000 would have to verify their income and resources to see if they’re still eligible for poverty programs.

Recipients who are excessively replacing their benefits cards would be reviewed by the department’s fraud division. The agency would also verify the identities of all the household’s adults.

The Wichita Eagle reports that several groups oppose the bill.

Amanda Gress of Kansas Action for Children says the bill creates barriers for children and families to participate in poverty programs.
