The Missouri Family Support Division (or FSD
for short) helps families through tough times.
One way the FSD helps is by giving Food Stamp
benefits to low-income families to buy food.
If you’re receiving Food Stamp benefits,
the FSD has a program just for you called
SkillUP.
The SkillUP program offers the support you
need to find a job, such as training, work
experience, and other services.
This free help can lead you to a career and
a bright future.
Want more details?
SkillUP providers are at schools and job centers
throughout Missouri.
They can help you connect with resources such
as childcare and housing assistance, get free
job and skills training that can be completed
in a few weeks, get real work experience,
create your own resume, or find a job.
Okay, I bet you’re wondering how to get
started.
If you are currently receiving Food Stamp
benefits, you can learn more about SkillUP
and find a provider near you.
Here’s how.
Go online to on.mo.gov/SkillUP.
Click on the SkillUP Provider links at the
bottom of the page.
If you’re interested in SkillUP but you
don’t currently receive Food Stamp benefits,
you’ll need to apply for the Food Stamp
program.
To do this, go to mydss.mo.gov.
Next, click on the big green Do I Qualify?/Apply
button.
You can apply using any smart phone, tablet,
or computer with Internet.
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.
