SSI State Supplement - Kansas

 

Image of the Kansas State Flag. The flag displays the Kansas State Seal centered on a blue field. Above the seal is the state crest, a sunflower resting on a twisted blue and gold bar. Below the seal in gold block lettering is the name of the state, 'KANSAS'. The State Crest consists of a twisted blue and gold bar representing the Louisiana Purchase, from which Kansas was carved. The state flower, the Sunflower, is depicted as if 'torn from its stalk.' Some say that the 'open frankness of the Sunflower is indicative of the fearlessness with which Kansas meets her problems and solves them.' The State Seal centered on the flag tells, eloquently, the story of Kansas. The thirty-four stars clustered at the top of the seal identify Kansas as the 34th state to be accepted into the Union. Above the stars is printed the state motto, 'Ad Astra per Astera', Latin for 'To the Stars through Difficulties,' meaning that the people of Kansas do not let difficulties stop them from doing their best. The rolling hills around Fort Riley are reflected in the seal. The Indians hunting American Bison, the prairie schooners heading west and the oxen mirror the expanding frontier. The farmer plowing his field before his log cabin at sunrise represent agricultural assets. The steamboat navigating the Kansas River, delivering supplies to Fort Riley, represent commerce within the state. The flag was adopted in 1927.Kansas provides State Supplements to Federal SSI benefit payments for residents in one of the living arrangements specified in the table below. These supplements began July 1, 2006.
