Good to know

Montana has no state paid family and medical leave program listed by its agencies. Montana participates in SUN Bucks; DPHHS provides an opt-out contact. Some URLs and application channels are taken from official agency pages that may link to separately operated local service organizations. Montana supports local early learning programs and preschool special education, but does not list a statewide universal pre-K program.
