| Title: | Aging Legislation |
| Authors: | Kansas. Legislature. Legislative Research Department |
| Issue Date: | 2-Jun-1999 |
| Description: | The 1999 Legislature passed S.B. 126 which creates the Quality Enhancement Wage Pass-Through
Program for nursing facilities as a part of the Kansas medicaid program. Nursing facilities and
intermediate care facilities for the mentally retarded that elect to participate are allowed a payment option of up to $4.00 per resident day to increase salaries or benefits, or both, for those employees eligible under the provisions of the new legislation. No wage pass-through money can be used to increase management compensation or facility profits. The new program is subject to specific appropriation and the Legislature provided $4.4 million of funding from all sources, including $1.8 million of State General Fund for the agency in FY 2000. |
