How can I verify income?

If you have direct deposit income which does not vary from month to month, a photocopy of a recent bank statement showing that monthly deposit. If you get any type of benefit from the Social Security Administration, a photocopy of your award letter(s) is great. If you have income from self-employment, please call (406) 728-3710 and have us send you a self-employment worksheet to fill out. If you have wage income, we need a check stub showing Year to Date income ending the month before you apply; and beginning and ending check stubs for the portion of last year which falls within the 6 months ending the month before you apply. If you have school loans and grants, we will need a print out showing the amounts for the semesters and/or quarters which fall within the 6 months ending the month before you apply. If you have gift or other undocumented income in that 6 month period, please call (406) 728-3710 and we will provide you a form for declaring undocumented income.

** If your entire household is receiving SNAP benefits and is identical to your LIHEAP household in the month you apply, we MAY be able to verify your household makeup, income and resources throught the SNAP office.  If there are questions or additional information is needed, you will receive a letter requesting information.
