Fiscal Detail and Notes
Preliminary Fiscal Impact Statement
The Department of Health and Human Services will require an annual General Fund appropriation of $1,541,815
beginning in fiscal year 2024-25 for a new MaineCare lifespan waiver, which will offer the services currently offered
under the department's rule Chapter 101: MaineCare Benefits Manual, Chapters II and III, Sections 21 and 29 and also
incorporate innovations such as self-directed services, employment options and transition services.
There is funding in the currently proposed biennial budget for this new waiver program. If that initiative were part of
the final budget passed by the legislature, this appropriation can be removed and the language can move forward.
