Hi!
I’m Ray.
I’m here to walk you through all the ways
the Missouri Family Support Division (FSD
for short) can help you.
Life can be hard for any of us from time to
time.
The FSD was created to help Missouri families
get through these hard times with services
that can help with food, health care, child
care, daily living expenses, and other needs.
They also offer services such as job training,
work programs, help with child support, energy
assistance, and other programs!
It’s easy to find out if you qualify!
First, go online to myDSS.mo.gov using any
smart phone, tablet, or computer with Internet
service.
If you don’t have one of these, you can
use a computer for free at your local library
or at an FSD resource center near you.
To find a list of FSD resource centers, call
the FSD Information Center at 855-373-4636
or go online at http://dss.mo.gov/dss_map.
To find out if you qualify for FSD services:
Go to myDSS.mo.gov.
Next, click on the big green button, Do I
Qualify?/Apply.
You’ll land on a page that has 2 options:
An orange button to Apply for Family Medical
coverage, and a blue button to Apply for Benefits.
The benefits from the blue button are Child
Care Subsidy, Food Stamp Benefits, Health
Care for Aged, Blind, or Disabled, and Temporary
Assistance Cash Benefits, or TA for short.
Click 1 or both buttons to apply for the programs
you need.
Filling out an application online is the fastest
and easiest way to apply.
Or, you can also download the application
to a computer.
When the application opens, you can fill it
out on the computer then print it, or print
out a blank application to fill out by hand.
Then mail it to your local FSD resource center
or take it there in person.
If you don’t have a printer, print the application
at your local library or pick up a free copy
at your local FSD resource center.
If you need help filling out an application
online or on paper, call the FSD at 855-373-4636.
There are other FSD services that don’t
show up in the orange or blue Apply buttons.
They include Energy assistance to help heat
or cool your home, help getting child support
payments, and services for people who are
blind or visually impaired.
To find out about these other FSD services,
go to the myDSS homepage, then scroll through
the color photos for each service, or click
on “Services” in the top navigation bar.
The web page for each of these services describes
the service, who is eligible, and how to get
started.
Still have questions?

Center at 855-373-4636.
