Montana Summary Instructions are a set of guidelines used to determine the eligibility of individuals for certain state programs. These instructions are used to provide an overview of the requirements and steps for applying for programs such as Montana Medicaid, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANK), and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The instructions cover eligibility criteria; the forms and documents needed for application; and the application process. The instructions are available in both English and Spanish, making them accessible for individuals with limited English proficiency. There are two types of Montana Summary Instructions: Standard Instructions and Special Instructions. Standard Instructions are used to determine eligibility for all programs, and Special Instructions are specifically used to determine eligibility for SNAP and TANK.
