She starts later this month, and I’ll introduce her and share more about what she brings to the organization in a future newsletter. DRMT is hiring two civil rightsattorneys In the meantime, we’re expanding our advocacy team. Disability Rights Montana is looking for two attorneys who want to do more than manage cases. We’re seeking lawyers who want to investigate abuse and neglect, pursue high-impact litigation, build coalitions, shape public understanding, and help transform the systems that affect disabled Montanans every day. This is a unique opportunity to join Montana’s federally designated Protection and Advocacy organization and use litigation, investigative authority, public advocacy, and community partnerships to create meaningful systemic change. Positions are based in Helena or Billings with hybrid options available, and salaries range from $90,500-$115,000 DOE. Please help us find the right people. If you know a legal aid attorney, public defender, civil rights attorney, government attorney, law firm associate, or simply a talented lawyer looking for purpose-driven work with real impact, please share this opportunity with them. Some of the best candidates aren’t actively job hunting. They may be just one conversation away from discovering the work they were meant to do. View Full Position Description Medicaid Said No? Here’s What to DoNext. Receiving a denial notice can be stressful, especially when you health care or disability supports are on the line. The good news is that just because the state has sent you a denial notice it does not necessarily mean their decision is correct. You have rights if you disagree, and there is a process for challenging Medicaid decisions. In this new video, Disability Rights Montana advocate Eva Belatski walks viewers through the Medicaid appeal process in plain language, explaining fair hearings, waiver programs, records requests, and practical strategies for building a strong appeal. If you or someone you know relies on Medicaid services, this is an important resource to keep handy.
