Missouri Military Unemployment Benefits for Trailing Spouses is a program designed to provide financial assistance to spouses of active-duty military members who have relocated to Missouri due to a military transfer. This program provides a lump-sum payment to help to trail spouses cover the costs of relocation, such as housing, food, and other basic living expenses. The benefits are available to spouses who are unemployed or underemployed and meet certain eligibility requirements. There are two types of Missouri Military Unemployment Benefits for Trailing Spouses: the Missouri Service Member Transition Assistance Program (MS TAP) and the Missouri Department of Economic Development’s Military Spouse Employment ProgramISEPEP). MS TAP provides a one-time payment to cover relocation costs, while ISEP helps to trail spouses secure employment in Missouri. Both programs are administered by the Missouri Department of Economic Development.
