Reference (on the Olmstead & Olmstead-related Lawsuits table) : NM23
Case Summary & Links to Further Details iii:
Summary Class action for people in ICF/MR or institutions & people in the community seeking waiver services. Progress Complaint upheld. Court ruled 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 the 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.
