The Department of Social Services (DSS), Family Support Division (FSD), administers the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) program, which is referred to as the Food Stamp program in Missouri. The Food Stamp program helps low-income individuals obtain a more nutritious diet by supplementing their income with Food Stamp benefits issued on an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card.
The USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) provides the federal funding and oversight for both Food Stamp benefits and SkillUP. The SkillUP program is also funded through the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) grant in which the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) provides oversight.
