Your benefits will not immediately stop when you get a job
Temporary Assistance (TA)
Once you start working, you may still be able to receive a cash benefit for up to a year. Additionally, you will still have support from the Missouri Work Assistance (MWA) team. MWA can help with determining your next career path, transportation costs, items needed for your job, and possibly more.
Visit dss.mo.gov/dss_map to find an MWA provider near you.
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
After you get a job, you may still be able to receive SNAP; however, your new income may reduce your benefit amount. While receiving SNAP benefits, SkillUP coaches can help you with transportation costs, items needed for your job and career coaching.

Mo HealthNet (Missouri Medicaid) Healthcare Coverage
If you are a parent or caretaker relative, and have had MO HealthNet coverage for at least three of the last six months, and you started a new job, you may qualify for transitional benefits for up to one year.
If you are employed and between the ages of 16-64, and permanently and totally disabled, you may be eligible for MO HealthNet through the Ticket to Work Health Assurance Program.
