           MAXIMUS to Provide Program Continuity for Texas
                 Health and Human Services Commission


    RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 13, 2007--MAXIMUS (NYSE:MMS),
a leading provider of government services, announced today that the
Company is in the process of executing separate agreements with the
Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) to administer a
long-term Medicaid Enrollment Broker (EB) program and to provide
support services to maintain program continuity on the State's
Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) on an interim basis.

    The State announced today that it would begin winding down its
contract with the Texas Access Alliance. Details regarding the HHSC
announcement may be found at:
http://www.hhs.state.tx.us/news/release.shtml

    The Company is working with HHSC to finalize the terms of the
agreements. The contract terms are expected to be finalized shortly
and to be accretive when effective. MAXIMUS has successfully managed
the State's EB operations since 1997 and currently expects that it
will continue running those operations through June 2010. Separately,
under an interim agreement, MAXIMUS will provide operational support
for CHIP, including systems and staffing to process applications.

    Richard Montoni, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated,
"MAXIMUS has had a long and successful relationship with the State of
Texas. We welcome the opportunity to establish a direct contractual
agreement with the State under an appropriate financial structure. We
look forward to working with the State to achieve their operational
objectives in the areas of health and human services on behalf of
their constituents."

    MAXIMUS remains in arbitration proceedings with Accenture, the
former prime contractor on the Texas Access Alliance, and cannot
provide any update on this process at this time. The Company cannot
predict the outcome of the arbitration proceeding or the impact it may
have on its operating results or financial condition.

devoted to providing program management, consulting and information
technology services. The Company has more than 5,200 employees located
in more than 220 offices in the United States, Canada and Australia.
In 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2005 MAXIMUS was selected by Forbes

year. Additionally, MAXIMUS is included in the Russell 2000 Index and
