The amount of the benefit is based on the applicant&rsquo;s income and living arrangements.&nbsp; 
 
To qualify for the supplement as an elderly individual, seniors must be 65 years of age or older and receiving the federal <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/benefits/ssi/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Supplemental Security Income benefit</a>.

KanCare provides free access to healthcare for elderly applicants with incomes of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.kancare.ks.gov/docs/default-source/providers/faqs/beneficiaries-excluded-from-kancare.pdf?sfvrsn=8fdd4b1b_2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">$62 per month</a> or less.
