We help with public benefits, including Food Stamps and Medicaid (also called MO HealthNet for the Aged, Blind and Disabled). If your benefits are ending or your application is denied, we can help with advice about what to do next. If needed, we can represent you at a hearing.
IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT MISSOURI SNAP BENEFITS:
As of right now, Missouri does not have the funds to pay out November SNAP benefits.
Family Support Division (FSD) is NOT sending out notices to inform people about this freeze to SNAP benefits. They have however issued updates at: https://mydss.mo.gov/federal-shutdown-impacts .
Please share this link with anyone currently receiving SNAP benefits, so they have all information available about the freeze in benefits.
Note that benefits already paid onto EBT cards will remain there till spent. This is affecting SNAP benefits only and TANF benefits will continue as normal.
Information about local food pantries can be found on the STL Area Foodbank search engine at: https://stlfoodbank.org/ . Enter your zip code to get a list of the food pantries closest to you.
