Limits
Montana DDP program eligibility is not based on income, but Medicaid financial eligibility is a separate waiver dependency. Neither decision alone proves a waitlist offer, enrollment, authorization, provider readiness, or service start.
Beyond Childhood’s checklists and prompts are planning aids derived from official sources. They are not official forms, legal advice, eligibility decisions, or guarantees of funding, capacity, quality, or service.
