What will happen when the counselor calls?

When the Missouri SHIP counselor calls, they will let you know who they are and mention Missouri SHIP. They will ask you to tell them more about your questions and/or concerns. Sometimes they can answer your question during the first call. Other times they must do more research, schedule a callback, or meet with you in person.

Remember: a Missouri SHIP counselor will NEVER call you unless you ask us for help!

If you’re not sure if the person contacting you is a Missouri SHIP counselor, you can hang up and call our Contact Center at 1-800-390-3330. The Contact Center staff will be able to check if a counselor called you.
