Maximus Employee Assistance Fund

The Employee Assistance Fund (EAF) offers employees in the United States assistance during pivotal moments. When the unexpected happens – a large-scale disaster or a personal hardship – the Employee Assistance Fund may be available to provide financial support. Applications are accepted year-round.

The EAF portal and My Maximus will request your Maximus login credentials with Azure Multifactor Authentication (MFA). Please contact the Maximus IT Help Desk for step-by-step login guidance or to verify that you have a working Azure token on your personal device.

The Employee Assistance Fund provides short-term assistance with basic living expenses in response to financial hardship caused by large-scale disasters, personal disasters, or personal hardships as a result of a family emergency or other sudden, severe, overwhelming, or unexpected event.

Employee Assistance Program

The EAP provides confidential consultations, information and resources, connections to community agencies and support organizations, and referrals to in-person or virtual counseling. The Employee Assistance Program is available to all Maximus employees and people in their households.

You can contact the Employee Assistance Program and talk to a consultant at any time, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Reach out to a consultant to see how they can help:
