DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES
DEPARTMENT SUMMARY
The Fiscal Year 2015 budget provides $10.3 billion for the Department of Social Services.
Department of Social Services include:
•
•
•
•

The core functions provided by the

Protecting the welfare of Missouri’s children through foster care, child abuse and neglect investigations, children’s treatment,
purchase of child care, and adoption assistance.
Administering income support programs and many of the state’s child support enforcement functions, such as, Temporary
Assistance for Needy Families, Food Stamps, Energy Assistance, Blind Pension, Supplemental Aid to the Blind, Domestic
Violence, and Medicaid eligibility.
Providing case management, community care, and aftercare to youth committed to the state’s custody for various crimes. The
Juvenile Court Diversion Program works with local communities to help prevent juvenile crime and provide treatment for youth in
their own communities.
Administering health care delivery to low-income Missouri citizens, including the elderly, people with disabilities, children, and
pregnant women. The Medicaid Program (Title XIX of the Social Security Act) is a federal-state effort to meet the health care
needs of those who cannot pay for their own care. The health care services include hospital, physician, pharmacy, skilled nursing
home care, home health care, mental health, and managed care. While states must meet certain minimum criteria, each state can
establish eligibility guidelines, benefit packages, and provider payment rates for its Medicaid Program.

Governor Nixon’s Fiscal Year 2015 budget expands and reforms Medicaid – 25 other states have already made the commitment to
cover additional uninsured individuals. By doing so, Missouri taxpayer dollars will stay in Missouri, providing health care for an
estimated 300,000 Missourians, rather than having those tax dollars flow to other states. The Governor’s proposal to expand and
reform Medicaid is a fiscally responsible move for taxpayers. Federal funding will cover 100 percent of the costs through 2016, phasing
down to 90 percent in 2020. Expanding access to Missouri’s Medicaid system will infuse nearly $2 billion of federal funds into the
economy of Missouri.

Administrative Services/Eligibility and Enrollment System – Management, coordination, and general direction are provided to all
Family Support Division programs. The division director and staff monitor the efficiency and effectiveness of and provide policy
direction for Income Maintenance and Child Support programs. Administrative Services also provides operational services, human
resource support, and systems support to Income Maintenance and Child Support Enforcement field staff. The division manages
Missouri’s eligibility and enrollment system for income maintenance and Medicaid services. The federal government has made
enhanced federal matching funds available through December 31, 2015 to upgrade state eligibility and enrollment systems. The
department’s four-year technology investment plan will improve workflows and business processes and allow for significant staff
efficiencies.

DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES
FAMILY SUPPORT DIVISION
Income Maintenance Field Staff and Operations – Staff provides intake services, information and referral, and eligibility
determinations for applicants of services provided by the department. Funds in these sections support the salaries, general operating
expenses, and training for Income Maintenance eligibility specialists, administrative and supervisory staff, and clerical support positions
in Family Support offices.
Family Support Staff Training – This funding provides training for income maintenance and child support enforcement staff as well as
community representatives. Proper training is key to ensuring program compliance and developing effective staff.
Community Partnerships – Twenty organizations partner with the department and other state agencies to plan, develop, finance, and
monitor strategies to achieve specific core results. These core results include safe and healthy children and families, children ready to
enter and succeed in school, youth ready to enter the workforce, and parents as a part of the workforce.
Missouri Mentoring Partnership – The program provides intervention programming and offers worksite and teen parent mentoring to
youth at risk of entering the welfare system or the justice system.
Adolescent Boys Program – Federal dollars are utilized to help boys age 11-14 understand healthy relationships, respect for females
in their lives, and the responsibility fatherhood brings. The program also explores the risk factors related to teen fatherhood and
increases young fathers’ involvement with their children.
Family Nutrition Program – The department partners with the community to deliver information and training on nutrition and food
budgeting for food stamp eligible individuals, especially women; people with children in the home; at risk, pregnant, and parenting
teens; youth; and seniors.
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) – TANF is a program designed to provide temporary assistance/relief to families
to promote self-sufficiency so parents do not remain dependent on government payments and children do not grow up in poverty.
Under federal welfare reform, TANF is designed to be a temporary assistance which, coupled with a myriad of other support services,
enables parents to find and retain employment; thereby, enabling them to support their families without government assistance.
Adult Supplementation – The federal government assumed responsibility for Old Age Assistance, Aid to the Permanently and Totally
Disabled, and Aid to the Blind programs in January 1974 when it created the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Program. Recipients
who are eligible for SSI, but who receive smaller benefits than their December 1973 payments, receive payments from the state equal
to the difference. Recipients who are not eligible for SSI, but who received payments under one of the earlier programs, receive
payments from the state equal to the amount they received in December 1973. The caseload has been declining since 1973 as
recipients die, become ineligible through income changes, or leave the state.
Supplemental Nursing Care – This state-funded program makes monthly cash payments to residents of residential care, assisted
living, and non-Medicaid nursing facilities for use in paying for their care. The type of facility appropriate for clients is dictated by their
level of need for care. Minimal medical care is provided in Residential Care, more in Assisted Living, and significantly more in Nursing
Facilities. Supplemental Nursing Care recipients also are provided an allowance each month for personal needs such as toiletries,
transportation, and hair care.
Blind Pension and Supplemental Aid to Blind – Three separate programs assist blind persons. The first, Supplemental Aid to the
Blind, pays benefits to those who meet certain income requirements. The second, Blind Pension, aids the blind who do not qualify for
Supplemental Aid to the Blind and who do not own property – excluding homes – worth more than $20,000. The third program, Adult
Supplemental Payments, aids those who received Aid to the Blind before the federal SSI Program began in 1974, but who receive less
from SSI than from the earlier program. New cases that meet the state’s 1973 guideline also may be certified for Supplemental Aid to
the Blind. All of these programs are funded from an earmarked state property tax that provides revenue to the Blind Pension Fund.
Community Services Block Grant (CSBG), Emergency Solutions Grants, and Refugee Assistance – CSBG funds are used to
address six causes of poverty: unemployment, inadequate education, malnutrition, inadequate housing, unmet emergency needs, and
poor use of income. Federal statutes require that 90 percent of CSBG funding be passed through to Community Action Agencies. The
Emergency Solutions Grants Program provides grants to local governments for renovation or conversion of buildings for emergency
shelters and to help meet the cost of emergency shelter operations. The Refugee Assistance Program provides services to help
refugees overcome language barriers, acquire or adapt vocational skills, and adjust to their new environment.
Food Distribution – The federally funded Food Distribution Program enables Family Support to provide USDA commodities and
administrative funds to not-for-profit food banks to store, ship, and distribute food to eligible individuals and families. The Food
Distribution Program also provides commodities for the Summer Food Service Program and other charitable institutions.
Energy Assistance – The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program is a federally funded block grant which provides heating
assistance payments and winter and summer crisis assistance to low-income households.
Domestic Violence – This program issues contracts to local family violence shelters. Funds may be used for emergency shelters,
counseling, and services for families in community-based shelters.

train blind and visually impaired Missourians, arrange for the purchase of other services, and help the visually impaired find jobs.
Services include rehabilitation, vocational rehabilitation, diagnosis and treatment of eye disease, equipment and supplies for blind
preschool children, the Public Building Vending program, and the Readers for the Blind Program. The Blind Enterprise Program
facilitates a contract arrangement between Fort Leonard Wood and a blind vendor to provide full food service. Payments from the
Department of Defense are received by the Department of Social Services, deposited into the State Treasury and paid to the
subcontractor for its services under the contract.
Child Support Field Staff and Operations – Child Support Enforcement staff provide services to locate missing parents; establish
paternity, medical support, and financial child support obligations; and enforce the collection of support payments for TANF,
MO HealthNet and for non-TANF families that apply for child support services. The state retains approximately 36 percent of all
assigned child support collected on current and former TANF cases.
Child Support Distributions – Distributions are made to reimburse counties that have signed a cooperative agreement with the
Department of Social Services to provide judicial assistance in the establishment and enforcement of child support obligations. Child
support collection and prosecution costs incurred by the counties are reimbursed by the federal government at a rate of 66 percent.
This funding also supports contractual agreements with local governments to assist the division with paternity and other types of child
support referrals through the establishment of multi-county, full-service centers. Counties pool resources to establish service centers
dedicated to child support work.
Distributions are also made to families when the payment is collected by the department on behalf of the family and to refund
overpayments from federal income tax refund intercepts. This appropriation also provides a mechanism for reimbursing non-custodial
parents for child support payments over-collected from state income tax refund intercepts.

Children’s Administration – The Children’s Division Administrative Services provides management, coordination, and general
direction for all Children’s Division programs. The division director and staff monitor the effectiveness of programs that promote safety,
permanency, and well-being for Missouri’s children served by the division. Administrative Services provides policy direction,
operational services, and human resource support to field staff.

DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES
CHILDREN’S DIVISION
CD Field Staff and Operations/Staff Training – This funding covers salaries, expenses, and training for Children’s Service workers
and support staff to maintain the Children’s Division programs in each of the state’s 45 judicial circuits. Front-line staff respond to
allegations of child abuse or neglect, provide assistance for families in need of services to keep or return children home safely, secure
appropriate out-of-home placements for children placed in the division’s custody, and locate permanent homes when it is in the best
interest of children.
In 2009, the Children’s Division obtained national accreditation by the Council on Accreditation (COA), in accordance with Section
210.113, RSMo. To achieve accreditation, Missouri’s child welfare system was reviewed and measured against nationally-recognized
standards of best practice established by COA.
Children’s Treatment Services, Crisis Care, and Prevention Programs – The Children’s Treatment Services funding provides a
variety of contracted services to child abuse victims and their parents. Specific services include family therapy, homemaker services,
respite care, parent aides, child care, and crisis care services. Children’s Treatment Services funding also provides for intensive, inhome services to help prevent placement of children in foster care and keep children with their families. Prevention programs such as
Crisis Care Centers and home visitation provide services for families and children to prevent child abuse and neglect and to divert
children from the state’s custody.
Foster Care, Foster Parent Training, Children’s Account, Adoption Subsidy, and Subsidized Guardianship – The Foster Care
Program provides monthly room and board payments for children in the custody and care of the Children’s Division. Types of
placements include traditional foster care, relative care, and kinship care. For children with intensive behavioral or medical needs,
specialized placements are provided. Payments are made for non-Medicaid medical and dental services, clothing, transportation,
foster parent training, respite care, and other needs. Children in state custody may receive funds from a variety of sources, including
child support payments. These monies are used to offset the cost of maintaining the child in foster care and to pay for any special
expenses of the child.
The Adoption Subsidy Program and Subsidized Guardianship Program provide financial assistance to parents who adopt or become
legal guardians of special needs children in order to move these children from foster care into permanent family arrangements.
Children’s Programs Pool – This pooled appropriation allows flexible spending for Children’s Program areas. These dollars have
been reallocated back to the program area, as used in Fiscal Year 2013.
Child Assessment Centers – Child Assessment Centers provide a child friendly setting where children, reported to have been
sexually abused, can be interviewed by multi-disciplinary team members and receive a single medical examination.
Residential Treatment, Transitional Living, Independent Living, and Title IV-E Court Contracts – Residential facilities are used
when foster family care cannot meet the children’s treatment needs. The division contracts with a wide range of residential programs,
ranging from small group homes to large, self-contained, resident campuses. Facilities must be licensed or be accredited by one of
three nationally recognized accrediting organizations. Independent Living programs assist foster care children, ages 15 to 21, in
learning the necessary skills for the transition from foster care to adult independent living in the community. Transitional Living
placement programs assist foster care children ages 16 to 21 by placing youth in their communities with support services. Court
contracts through the Title IV-E Program allow the Children’s Division to pass through federal funds to be used for reimbursement to
juvenile courts for children in the court’s custody placed in juvenile court residential facilities.
Foster Care Case Management Contracts – The Children’s Division contracts with private agencies to provide foster/adoption case
management services to children who have been removed from their homes and are under the jurisdiction of the Juvenile Court. These
children have been abused and/or neglected or were found to be at serious risk of such. The goal of the foster care case management
contracts is to improve safety, stability, and timely permanency for these children.
Purchase of Child Care – A key to successful welfare reform and the prevention of abuse and neglect is access to quality, affordable
child care. Without child care assistance, many parents could not participate in job training or education, or maintain employment in
order to become self-sufficient and end their dependence on government assistance. Without such assistance, the risk of children
being left in unsafe environments also increases. The Early Childhood Development, Education and Care Fund supports programs to
improve the availability of, and access to, quality child care and programs that prepare children to enter school ready to succeed.
Because children learn more from the ages of zero to five than during any other developmental period, the availability of quality child
care is essential to preparing children for school.
Foster Youth Educational Assistance – This funding provides financial assistance for tuition and other fees related to post-secondary
education and vocational training to youth in foster care and former foster care youth. The program gives the Division the opportunity to
provide funding to assist eligible youth interested in pursuing higher education to reach their goals.

Youth Services Administration – The youth services administrative unit assumes overall responsibility for designing, implementing,
managing, and evaluating all programs operated by the Division of Youth Services (DYS). Five regional offices work with central office
staff to ensure program efficiency and effectiveness at the local level.
Youth Treatment – Youth treatment is composed of residential services and non-residential services. Residential Services provide
youthful offenders with structured rehabilitation programs when placement at home is no longer an option. Services include academic
and vocational education for youth in residential placement. The division operates 6 secure care facilities, 19 moderate care facilities,
and 7 community-based facilities. Non-residential Services help youthful offenders adjust to community life and become law-abiding
and productive citizens. The division provides: case management; community care which includes day treatment, intensive
supervision, family counseling, and alternative living; and aftercare services. Case management involves evaluating youths’ needs and
managing their service delivery plan. Community care involves treatment of youth without placement in a DYS facility. Alternative
living includes foster care and independent living services for juveniles who cannot return to their homes. Day treatment programs
provide education and treatment services for youth who continue to live at home. Family counseling is provided to strengthen the
family structure, communication, and parenting. Intensive supervision provides mentoring to youth in the community. Aftercare is the
provision of support services to help juveniles return to their families and communities as law-abiding and productive citizens.
Juvenile Court Diversion – The Juvenile Court Diversion Program encourages local communities to develop programs to divert youth
from commitment to DYS through contracts with local courts to provide early intervention services to first-time offenders to stop their
delinquent behavior.

Administrative Services – The MO HealthNet Division is an intermediary for providing services to both participants and providers.
The agency’s structure includes two major sections: Finance and Operations and Clinical Services.
The Finance and Operations section works to incorporate the newest and best technology to accurately and efficiently pay providers in
a paperless environment. Technology provides a robust reporting function that is critical to the management responsibilities of the
division. The resultant database of paid claims is used to monitor the programs, provide program integrity, and compile data to project
financial needs and trends. Provider relations, participant services, and premium collections are also functions under the Finance and
Operations section.
The Clinical Services section oversees pharmacy enhancement and rebates, the exception program, the psychology program, and the
Missouri Rx Plan. The Clinical Services unit reaches out to organizations through existing contracts, such as the University of Missouri
Health Management Team, to assist in needed data mining and analysis. The process allows for examination and analysis of
performance in terms of efficiency of operations and anticipated health status outcomes. Utilizing a variety of sources, the Clinical
Services section establishes best practices based on evidence-based reviews.

Vendor Payments – The Medicaid Program (Title XIX of the Social Security Act) is a federal-state effort to pay for the health care of
those who cannot pay for their own care. Federal law sets the minimum services for any state that opts to administer the Medicaid
Program. These include hospital; physician; Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment; lab and x-ray; skilled nursing
home care; home health care; Federally Qualified Health Centers; rural health clinics; non-emergency transportation; and family
planning services.
In addition to Medicaid State Plan Services, Missouri provides women’s health services for women with incomes no greater than 185
percent of the federal poverty level, through an 1115 waiver. Missouri also provides breast and cervical cancer treatment for uninsured
women under the age of 65. Also, the State Children’s Health Insurance Program is the federal-state effort to pay for the health care of
uninsured children up to 300 percent of the federal poverty level. Children receive a benefit package equal to Medicaid coverage,
though non-emergency medical transportation is not available to children in families with income above 150 percent of the federal
poverty level. Families with incomes above 150 percent of the federal poverty level, but below 300 percent of the federal poverty level
must pay premiums to receive coverage for their children. The Blind Pension Medical Benefits Program allows individuals receiving
blind pension benefits who do not meet categorical eligibility criteria for Title XIX to receive nearly all of the same services, which are
reimbursed for Title XIX eligible’s, including non-institutional, nursing facility, and hospital care.
Finally, this budget provides Medicaid expansion to approximately 300,000 Missourians. Through calendar year 2016, this expansion is
funded entirely through federal dollars. The state match requirement increases over the next five years until reaching ten percent.
