Promising Practices - Missouri

Missouri - During the 2005 tax season, H&R Block tax preparation offices in Missouri in cooperation with the Department of Social Services, provided clients with Food Stamp Program applications, local contact information, and brief instructions on filing an application. H&R Block staff identified a client’s potential eligibility for the Food Stamp Program through the tax preparation program. Along with a Food Stamp Program application, clients received Missouri’s web link to information on the FSP, www.dss.mo.gov, and a Block Advantage advice one-page summary of the Food Stamp Program that has brief instructions on beginning the application process. For more information, contact: Rachel Morris, Food Stamp Unit Manager, Department of Social Services, Jefferson City MO 65102, 573-751-3381. Rachel.E.Morris@dss.mo.gov.
