PSA

The current shutdown does affect those who receive food stamps. 

According to this pdf from dss.mo.gov: 

Due to the partial federal government shutdown: 

You will get your February Food Stamp benefit in January (one month early) 

You will not get a Food Stamp benefit in February 

You will need to carefully spend your benefit to make sure it lasts both months 

“What should I do if my Food Stamp verification is pending?” 

If you have verification pending on a Food Stamp case, it must be submitted by 11:59 a.m. on Tuesday, January 15 to [email protected] or a FSD Resource Center 

“Will I get Food Stamp benefits in future months?” 

At this time we do not know if Food Stamp benefits for future months will be available. 

What can you do for your family? 

Carefully spend your Food Stamp benefit so that your food supply will last 

If you need more help, you can also reach out to your local food bank or contact the Family Support Division for help locating other resources that may be helpful to you and your family 

Questions? You can contact us at 1-855-FSD-INFO (855-373-4636) or visit your local FSD Resource Center for help.

I don’t know if that phone number is Missouri-specific or not. 

Please pass this along and feel free to add any important information I missed!

CONSERVATIVE SHOULD TRY KNOWING WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT FOR ONCE.

REPUBLICANS: “Were all about saving money! Being fiscal! Pro economy!”

ALSO REPUBLICANS: “The last government shut down cost us about 24 Billion and it only last 16 days lets see if we can beat that record.”

In yet another example of the corrupt relationship between the U.S. government and the fossil fuel industry, public meetings are still being held by the Interior Department to push forward arctic drilling despite the government shutdown.
