Montana·Title 53 SOCIAL SERVICES AND INSTITUTIONS·Ch. 9 SERVICES FOR VICTIMS OF CRIME·Part 1 The Crime Victims Compensation Act of Montana
53-9-108 . Limitation of benefit entitlements to proportionate share of available funds. Claimants receiving benefits under this part are not granted an absolute entitlement to benefits. Benefits must be paid in accordance with the amount of the legislative appropriation. If the office determines at any time that the appropriated funds for a fiscal year will not be an amount that will fully pay all claims, the office may make appropriate proportionate reductions in benefits to all claimants. The reductions do not entitle claimants to future retroactive reimbursements in future fiscal years unless the legislature makes appropriations for retroactive benefits.
