Temporary Pause on Initial OADS Provider Applications (MaineCare Benefits Manual Sections 18, 20, 21, and 29)

Effective April 13, 2026, the Office of Aging and Disability Services (OADS) is temporarily pausing acceptance and review of initial applications from entities seeking to become OADS-approved waiver providers under MaineCare Benefits Manual (MBM) Sections 18, 20, 21, and 29.

OADS is implementing this pause to help maintain timely and consistent review of applications, which OADS receives in high volumes, and to prioritize, with OADS' limited staff resources, quality support and oversight of enrolled providers.

What does this mean:

• Initial applications submitted to OADS on or after April 13, 2026, will not be accepted or processed during this pause. Providers seeking initial OADS approval should re-submit their applications after OADS resumes processing.
• Applications submitted prior to April 13, 2026, will continue to move through the review process.
• OADS will continue to support providers with OADS approvals already in effect, including with requests to add new services, provider updates or changes, and ongoing compliance activities.

OADS will send an update when it resumes accepting and processing new applications. For questions, please contact waiverprovider.oads@maine.gov.
