Check Out the New Draft Service Definitions on the Community Support Waiver Website!
Proposed services and their definitions have been added to the Community Support Waiver website. You can visit KansasCSW.com/services to review the draft definitions and examples of each service. Please share your thoughts through our feedback form.
Proposed CSW services include…
• assistive technology
• home and environmental modifications
• non-medical transportation
• personal care services
• and more!
What services are you glad to see listed? Are any missing? Your feedback will help us make the CSW the best it can be.
Please note: We are early in the process of developing the CSW, so the content on the services page is not final. The list of services and their definitions are subject to change as we incorporate feedback from stakeholders like you.
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
