Questions about the Live Life Well Incentive? Health Care & Benefits Division -
How can I verify that I’ll be receiving the Live Life Well Incentive for the upcoming 2025 Plan Year?
To verify if you will be receiving the Live Life Well (LLW) Incentive for 2025, review your benefit elections.
- Go to benefits.mt.gov. Click on the “Benefit Enrollment and Changes” button and login to the system. If you have not accessed the system and you are a first-time user you will need to register and create a user name and password. The “Company Key” is stateofmontana. If you are accessing the system via the State of Montana network, you may be able to automatically enter the system without a user name or password.
- Click the drop-down arrow next to your name located in the upper right corner and select "Open Enrollment Benefit Summary" (not "Benefits Summary").
- In the “My Health” section, under “Medical,” click “View Details.” This will cause a pop-up window to appear.
- Under “Plan Selected” it will show if you and/or your covered spouse earned the Live Life Well Incentive.
- The election information section will show a bi-weekly (for employees) and monthly (for retirees) contribution amount for 2025.
- PLEASE NOTE: The LLW Incentive for active employees is displayed as a bi-weekly credit amount because employees pay their contributions through bi-weekly payroll deductions. For Retirees, the LLW Incentive will display on the Open Enrollment Benefit Summary as a monthly credit. Example: If you are an employee and you earned the LLW Incentive, the Open Enrollment Benefit Summary would display a $15 bi-weekly credit and if you are a retiree the summary would display a $30 monthly credit. If you and a spouse/domestic partner earned the LLW Incentive, it will show up as two $15 bi-weekly credits if you are an employee, and two $30 monthly credits if you are a retiree. If your LLW Incentive was not applied properly, contact HCBD immediately.
The State Plan offers the incentive program to all plan members and their enrolled spouse/domestic partner. If you think you may be unable to meet a standard of the incentive program, you may qualify for an alternative program or different means to earn the incentive. You must contact the Health Care & Benefits Division (HCBD) as soon as possible at
