  2. Click Customer Options and expand the Non-Financial options from the left navigation to complete Non-Financial Data Collection - Family Medical (ks.gov).

  1. Click Run EDBC to proceed to Running EDBC - Medical (ks.gov) for the Presumptive Eligibility program block. Presumptive Eligibility EDBC results display the determination given through the PE Portal, it does not calculate benefits. Review the EDBC results for accuracy prior to accepting.
