The start of the Kansas Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program has been delayed due to technology issues. We apologize for the inconvenience, and there is no confirmed start date at this time, so you will not be able to receive benefits on June 1, 2025.
We fully understand the impact this delay may cause and are actively working to address the issues. Please check back for updates and for a new start date once it has been determined.
