Maine SIS Program - Important Reminder: $100 Assessment Incentive Are Available for or Youth planning to transition to Adult IDD or Autism Services for Maine and the Lifespan Waiver<https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001wztDcPETVLvkPWgkc5wG682Nj5uPs1VQEQXP4AUzMKP0Q22Vqp0Ei-8DeBBKnuRbiLlIdWr8VgZN5kVhBGzF4eKo0tBFGe5ZRgtJJxTgDEdPwibqScIR_QJZ0hkufIkXJ5hHV6zfU9FGtSC4tJ6RtIoLZM86Lzpqc9sRChQspApuS9nJXRBy6Q==&c=DjbH38Jt0aSjMLT1SqbE9-DHKcs8rLZWCxd9x7M6ohNRfhMu_Cj6zw==&ch=4bD7a58wDcKEp1G5fpX9DJznaG4Vy2djdQ-7iiL_d_O_VULVfiYi0Q==>

If you or a someone that you support has not taken the SIS-A assessment yet, there is still a SIS-A member incentive available to take the SIS-A right now. 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.

Who is eligible for the SIS-A member incentive?

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

·         Among the first 800 members who received an assessment

·         A member or someone on Section 21 or 29 waitlists who have fully completed a valid, non-training assessment earlier in 2023. You will also be compensated.

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.
