What is the Extended care V-9 contract?

The Extended Care (V-9) Agreement

Voluntary Extended Support Agreement V-9

“The V9 Agreement provides a safety net for young people on the road to adulthood to achieve their goals.” – Dulcey Laberge, Maine DHHS

Renegotiation & Suspension of the V9 Agreement

V9 Agreements are a partnership between the youth and the Department and will be reviewed by the youth and their caseworker every six months or sooner as needed. The only exception is for youth on a V9 Agreement under the case management responsibility of the Office of Adults with Cognitive and Physical Disabilities (OACPD). For these youth, the initial V9 Agreement will remain in effect until the V9 is closed and the OACPD case manager will be responsible for on-going planning with the youth and youth’s supports.
