Formula to bring back value of a cell based on month

Options

Hello! I need help figuring out a formula and possibly on how to set up a helper sheet to get the formula to work:

I currently have a capacity plan for our team.

My leaders would like a widget on the dashboard that will just show the team members' names and their allocation for the current month. So I need help figured out a formula that says "if the current month is [this], bring back the value in [this] cell."
