The Kansas Sentencing Commission will reimburse Community Corrections and Court Services agencies up to $5.00 per SASSI assessment when considering offenders for SB 123 substance abuse treatment. If the offender scores low on the SASSI prior to referral to a treatment provider for a full assessment, the offender is disqualified from further assessment or eligibility in the program, making a referral unnecessary.

To be reimbursed, the Invoice for SASSI Reimbursement Form (below) must be filled out completely in addition to the SB 123 SASSI Summary Form (below) for each of the SASSI tests administered. The Forms must be submitted to the Commission for reimbursement when the invoice total is greater than $20.00 and may be submitted quarterly to SB123payments@ks.gov
