The U.S. Department of Agriculture wants states to provide personal information about SNAP applicants dating back to 2020. But Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly is refusing, despite the threat of losing millions in federal funding and a lawsuit from state Attorney General Kris Kobach.

Matthew Kelly, Kansas Statehouse reporter for the Kansas City Star, speaks with KCUR's Up To Date host Steve Kraske about what's happening.
