A web-based application program for Department of Children and Families and Kansas Department of Health will begin being upgraded Friday.

People applying for medical and social services from the Department of Children and families and Department of Health will soon apply through the Kansas Eligibility Enforcement System website. System upgrades begin Friday.

Benefits already approved will continue without disruption. New applicants should provide all needed documentation before Friday.

DCF’s online application for welfare benefits still will be available during the upgrade process. For KanCare applicants, only emergency approvals will be given during the upgrade.
