Like most states, Kansas publishes annual Standard Utility Allowances that caseworkers apply in place of actual bills. We haven't yet verified Kansas's FY 2026 SUA amounts from an official source, so our calculator conservatively uses the utility amount you enter — your official determination may come out higher if the state's allowance exceeds your actual bills.
