The state of Montana appears on the verge of inking a $29 million deal with a global services company for software work that will be done, in part, overseas.
Meanwhile, one of the companies that lost out on the bid — a "Made In Montana" certified firm which would not have outsourced the work to foreign employees — announced Monday it was putting eight Helena workers on indefinite, unpaid furloughs.
The contract is for software to manage Montana’s food stamp and cash payment welfare programs known as SNAP and TANF respectively.
The software would manage all parts of the programs, from determining eligibility to automating checks to be mailed.
