Montana APS Online Intake Report (Adult Abuse)

Montana DPHHS Adult Protective Services takes non-emergency reports of suspected abuse, neglect or exploitation of vulnerable adults through an online intake form in its LEAPS system. Under MCA 52-3-803, vulnerable adults are people 60 or older, or adults 18 and up with an impairment that substantially limits their ability to care for or protect themselves, or a developmental disability.

Who completes it

The reporter completes the whole online form and may report anonymously; 'Mandated Reporter' is one of the reporter resource types. Reporter information is kept confidential under Montana law.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
Submit the online form (required fields are marked with an asterisk), or call the APS hotline weekdays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., except holidays. If harm is happening now, call 911.
Who pays
DPHHS lists no fee for reporting.

Good to know

  • A required checkbox confirms the report does not need an emergency response, because the form is for non-emergency reports only.
  • The narrative is limited to 2,000 characters and asks you to explain the complaint, including physical or mental injuries and any monetary loss.
  • The form takes up to three suspected abusers and asks whether the abuser still has access to the victim and whether there is danger to the investigating worker.
  • If no confirmation message appears after submitting, the report was not submitted; check for errors or incomplete entries.

How this list is checked

A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms and their requirements change without notice, so check the official page for the current version before you complete one.

Frequently asked questions

What happens after a Montana APS report?

APS investigates and works with community partners to refer the person to services such as housing, food, transportation, legal help, medical care or mental health services. The person can accept or decline services unless a court-appointed decision-maker acts for them, and DPHHS says no decision is made without the person's involvement and consent.

Are Montana APS reports confidential?

Yes. DPHHS states that all APS reports and records are strictly confidential except as provided by law or court order, and the online form notes that reporter information is kept confidential under Montana law. When reporting by phone you can also ask that your name, phone number and profession be kept private.
