The MO Situation

FSD is above federal threshold.
The technology to fix it already exists.

The FSD reality

Department of Social Services — Family Support Division administers SNAP, TANF, Medicaid intake, and adjacent programs for Missouri residents from Jefferson City. Most state benefits systems were built before smartphones existed — paper forms, call-center queues, mainframe back-ends, and recertification letters that arrive after the deadline.

What Fortis One delivers

A resident-facing iOS/Android app for applications, document upload, status, and renewals. A caseworker portal with AI-assisted eligibility, queue routing, and audit-grade case notes. Branded for Missouri. Integrates with existing FSD systems — no rip-and-replace.

Frequently Asked Questions

What FSD leaders ask before signing.

Eligibility is governed by Department of Social Services — Family Support Division (FSD) rules — SNAP, TANF, Medicaid, and WIC — not by Fortis One. The platform automates the screening, document intake, and case routing so that eligible residents in Missouri never miss a deadline because of a broken form or a busy call center.

Residents can complete an application in under 12 minutes on their phone. Caseworkers see the case instantly in the FSD portal. Most determinations that previously took 30–45 days are reduced to 7–14 days because data verification is pre-populated and AI-assisted, not manual.

Everything needed to go live in one pilot county: a white-labeled resident app (iOS, Android, web), a caseworker portal with AI-assisted eligibility, integration with FSD's existing eligibility engines, staff training in Jefferson City, and a 30-day hypercare period after launch.

No. Fortis One wraps around your current back-end — whether it is a 1990s mainframe or a modern cloud system. We read and write via APIs and EDI where available, and provide manual fallback workflows where legacy systems require them. FSD keeps what works; we fix what residents actually touch.

SNAP, TANF, Medicaid intake, WIC, and LIHEAP are live today. Additional Missouri programs — childcare subsidies, unemployment bridge benefits, emergency rental assistance — can be added in a subsequent configuration sprint.
