To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Kentucky Open Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

-A copy of the written questions CHFS received from the aforementioned town hall meeting and the cabinet’s responses.
-A copy of the change order referenced in part 1.3 of the attached letter dated September 19, 2023 from the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services to the Kentucky Equal Justice Center, which states: “While the Cabinet acknowledges that there is currently a system barrier for an SSI ineligible individual to submit an application through the Self Service Portal (SSP) in kynect prior to termination, the individual may submit an application to DCBS through various other ways identified in the notice. A change order has been submitted to remove the system SSP barrier…”
