SAPT Block Grant and Eligibility

1. SRS published the Treatment Funded Members Eligibility Guidelines in October 2003, (Attachment E) that are applicable to eligibility for the SAPT Block Grant funds. This document identifies the following eligibility guidelines:
2.  Documented State of Kansas resident.
3. Income is determined to be at or below 200% of Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG)
4.  Exceptions to the above:
5. Members age 18 and under are not subject to a sliding fee scale up to 200% of FPG.
6. Social Detoxification providers are exempt from determining income or residency guidelines. Social Detoxification is considered to be an “on demand” service for any person needing that service.

The SRS Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Kansas Department of Corrections (KDOC) states that SAPT Block Grant funds are available for substance abuse treatment of offenders on post-release status who meet the eligibility guidelines.  It also stipulates that offenders who are assessed to be of high risk for public safety are ineligible for SAPT funds.
