Progress Complaint upheld. Court ruled that the state had not furnished services with reasonable promptness but did not require the state to expand its program to include the people on the waitlist because reasonable promptness only extends as far as there are available funds & slots. Court ordered state to allocate slots as soon as they are available, determine a person's eligibility within 90 days & provide waiver services within 90 days of finding eligibility.
