Kansas Statutes 38-149. Same; entitlement not created

Entitlement: A Federal program or provision of law that requires payments to any person or unit of government that meets the eligibility criteria established by law. Entitlements constitute a binding obligation on the part of the Federal Government, and eligible recipients have legal recourse if the obligation is not fulfilled. Social Security and veterans' compensation and pensions are examples of entitlement programs.

The provisions of the grandparents as caregivers act shall not be construed to create an entitlement for participants in the program.
