What is the Community Support Waiver?

The Community Support Waiver (CSW) is a new Medicaid waiver program that will assist Kansans with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) who do not need continuous, 24-hour support. The CSW will expand community care choices and supplement natural supports to make it easier for anyone to live independently at home.

Have questions or comments on the CSW? Reach out to us at [email protected].

Understand your airline passenger rights

Did you know that as an airline passenger, you have certain consumer rights under United States federal law? The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) governs “fly rights,” which covers areas such as:

Ticket pricing

Baggage issues

Delayed and canceled flights

Additionally, you can file complaints about airline services with DOT’s Office of Aviation Consumer protection related to consumer and civil rights matters such as:
• Lost, delayed, or damaged baggage
• Refunds
• Travelers with disabilities
