Item 8.01      Other Events.

As previously disclosed, on September 30, 2013, MAXIMUS, Inc. was notified that its MAXIMUS Federal Services subsidiary was awarded a contract by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Federal Student Aid (FSA), to provide program management for the Debt Management and Collections System (DMCS), helping to administer a portfolio of defaulted student loans and overpayment debts.  In November 2013, that award was protested by another bidder.

On February 18, 2014, MAXIMUS reached a negotiated resolution of the protest whereby the protestor will perform certain services under a subcontract as part of the MAXIMUS team.  Accordingly, the protest has been withdrawn.

The resolution of this matter does not change the Company’s revenue and earnings guidance for fiscal year 2014 that was provided in its earnings release on February 6, 2014.

The Company currently expects that the contract will begin generating revenue in its fiscal fourth quarter of 2014 and expects a contract transition and ramp up period through fiscal 2015. As a result, the Company is forecasting that the contract will break even sometime in fiscal 2016.
