Important Notice:  The $100 SIS-A Assessment Incentive will be ending soon for Section 21 or 29 or Waitlist Members, and Youth aged 16+

If you or a member that you support has not taken the SIS-A assessment yet, there is still a SIS-A incentive available to take the SIS-A right now.  But that incentive will end soon.  There are less than 50 incentives remaining. If you would like to receive the incentive for the SIS-A assessment, you should plan to contact Maximus soon.

For background, the SIS-A is high-quality data that helps inform the Person-Centered Planning process. It also provides OADS with support information for the design of innovative service options through the new Lifespan Waiver.

Also - OADS has expanded who can take the assessment to include youth aged 16 or older.

Some FAQs:

Who is eligible for the SIS-A member incentive?

• A Section 21 or 29 member or on the waitlist for these waivers 

OR

• A youth 16 or older with an IDD/Autism diagnosis who is on or eligible for MaineCare and expected to transition to Maine adult services, Section 21, Section 29 or Lifespan.

What does not qualify for the SIS-A member incentive?

• Previously performed training assessments do not qualify, as there has already been reimbursement for training assessments. 
• Other SIS-A assessment attendees, like family members or guardians, do not qualify for this member-only incentive.
