State Information and Assistance Requests
State Employment Office (Kennett)
Missouri’s Workforce System is comprised of the Division of Workforce Development, state and local workforce boards, and numerous partner agencies who promote business recruitment, expansion, and retention.
Missouri Department of Social Services
The Family Support Division (FSD) can help you or your family with food stamps, health care, child care, child support, and other needs as we support our mission to maintain and strengthen Missouri families.
Child Care (Information for Providers)
Each day, families across Missouri are able to become self-sufficient with help from the Child Care Subsidy Program. The Department of Social Services (DSS) partners with local child care providers to serve these families. Child care providers must be contracted or registered with DSS to receive payment for care provided to subsidy eligible children. Contracts (provider agreements) and registration agreements must be in place before a child can be authorized to a provider to receive payment of child care services.
Based on which category a provider falls into, the application process will vary.
Help with Child Support
The Child Support program responsibilities include locating parents, establishing paternity, establishing child and medical support orders, monitoring and enforcing compliance with child and medical support orders, reviewing and initiating modification of support orders and distributing support collections.
Foster Care and Adoption
The Children’s Division is responsible for the administration of child welfare services. The Children’s Division works in partnership with families, communities, the courts and other governmental entities toward ensuring the safety, permanency, and well-being of Missouri children.
