Program Description
Each participating household receives an allotment of food benefits based on the USDA’s “Thrifty Food Plan.” This allotment is
adjusted annually according to the U. S. Department of Labor’s analysis of the cost of food. Missouri Electronic Benefit Transfer
(EBT) is the method by which households receive and use food stamp benefits. Households may use their Missouri EBT card in any
grocery store or retail location anywhere in the United States that has been authorized by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service and
displays the Quest® sign. The benefits may be used to purchase any food or food products prepared for human consumption except
alcoholic beverages and tobacco, hot foods, or foods prepared for immediate consumption. Benefits may also be used to buy seeds
and plants for use in gardens to produce food for the personal consumption of the household. Under certain conditions, members of
the eligible households who are 60 years of age or older may use the benefits to pay for home delivered meals and other meals
prepared for elderly persons. While GovBenefits.gov provides a high-level capability to pre-screen for Food Stamp benefits in
Missouri, you can learn more about how much you may be eligible to receive by using a pre-screening tool for the Food Stamp
Program published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food and Drug Administration, Food and Nutrition Service.
General Program Requirements
In order to qualify for this benefit program, you must be a resident of the State of Missouri and fall into one of two groups: (1) those
with a current bank balance (savings and checking combined) under $2,001, or (2) those with a current bank balance (savings and
checking combined) under $3,001 who share their household with a person or persons age 60 and over, or with a person with a
disability (a child, your spouse, a parent, or yourself). For either group, you must also have an annual household income of less than
$13,284 if one person lives in the household; $17,808 if two people live in the household; $22,332 if three people live in the
household; $26,856 if four people live in the household; $31,380 if five people live in the household; $35,904 if six people live in the

*******************************************************
Home heating is a high-cost basic necessity. For people with low incomes, the decision to pay the utility bill may mean deciding
between being warm in the winter or having well-balanced meals. Other low-income people live in older homes that may not have
insulation or efficient heating systems. Weatherization is a long-term response to these problems. A home that has been
weatherized can reduce average annual fuel savings per dwelling by up to 13.5 percent, with electricity at 12.2 percent and natural
gas at 23.4 percent, making it a cost-effective means to help low-income families with their energy bills. Lasting energy-efficient
improvements are installed in the home, resulting in lower utility bills year after year. This reduces the amount of assistance needed
to pay higher utility bills in low-income households.
General Program Requirements
In order to qualify for this benefit program, you must be a resident of the State of Missouri, your household’s annual income before
taxes must not exceed $16,245 if one person lives in the household; $21,855 if two people live in the household; $27,465 if three

******************************************************************************
Although most anglers prefer fishing in warm-weather months, Missouri offers great fishing in the wintertime, too.
The Lake of the Ozarks features a number of resorts with heated docks and other cold weather amenities popular with winter
anglers who come for crappie, bass and other game fish. A lot of fishing enthusiasts prefer the peace and quiet of winter fishing.
The lake’s state parks also attract anglers year-round. Lake of the Ozarks State Park has a boat launch, or you can fish the
crappie beds from the dock. Ha Ha Tonka State Park near Camdenton has two boat docks and allows fishing from marked access
points (but not in Ha Ha Tonka Spring). In addition, numerous bait shops and full-service marinas are located throughout the lake
area.
