DISCUSSION:
Two questions related to service in the U.S. Armed Forces have been added to the forms listed below.
- SNAP application (FS-1)

These questions are designed to gather information to allow the Family Support Division (FSD) to provide useful information to veterans and their families. These questions will not affect eligibility and if left unanswered must not cause a case to be rejected, closed, or delayed.
Question 1: Have you or an immediate family member ever served in the U.S. Armed Forces?
Question 2: If yes, would you like information about military-related services in Missouri?
Further details about the information and how it will be made available to military households will be provided in a future memorandum.
NECESSARY ACTION:
- Review this memorandum with appropriate staff.
