Why am I required to sign up for Electronic Funds Transfer (direct deposit)?
A. The Department realizes a significant cost savings with Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). EFT also makes funds available to you more quickly than paper checks. If you feel you have extenuating circumstances that prohibit you from receiving payment via EFT, request a waiver by including a signed letter explaining why paper checks are required. The electronic payment option allows Montana’s Healthcare Programs providers to receive their payments on Monday of the payment week.
