Maine is currently participating in a PERM audit for Reporting Year (RY) 2024 which covers randomly selected paid claims with a payment date from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023.

Error rates only indicate that a payment made did not meet statutory, regulatory, or administrative requirements; these are not fraud rates.
