Item 8.01     Other Events.

Effective January 28, 2010, MAXIMUS entered into a Mutual Release and Settlement
Agreement with a transit agency customer under which the parties agreed to a
mutual termination of a contract for certain enterprise resource planning
("ERP") implementation and integration services.  This resolution was made in
conjunction with the Company's recent announcement of its intention to divest
its ERP Solutions business.

The resolution will result in a net after-tax charge to MAXIMUS of $2.2 million,
or approximately $0.12 per diluted share, which will be reflected as a charge to
discontinued operations in the Company's first fiscal quarter ended December 31,
2009.  It also brings to a close a project that had resulted in significant
losses to the Company over the last two years.

The charge will have no impact to the Company's financial results from
continuing operations and will not impact the Company's previously disclosed
guidance on continuing operations.
