Kansas is receiving a bonus of $5.9 million from the federal government for making it easier for families to enroll children in programs covering their health care.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says it’s the third straight year that Kansas has earned a bonus.

HHS says Kansas is being rewarded because it’s using the same enrollment forms for Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program. Medicaid covers health care for the poor, while CHIP provides coverage for working-class families.

HHS also says Kansas doesn’t require face-to-face interview with applicants for the programs, which can be difficult for working parents to schedule. The federal government also says Kansas has made it easier for families to retain coverage year to year.
