WAC 388-106-0535   Are there waiting lists for MNIW?  The department will create a waiting list in accordance with caseload limits determined by legislative funding. Wait listed clients will gain access in the following manner:

     (1) Nursing home residents wanting MN waiver services will be ranked first on the wait list by date of application for services;

     (2) Then clients living in the community with a higher level of need as determined by the department's CARE assessment will be ranked higher on the wait list over clients with lower level of need; and

     (3) When two or more clients in the community have equal need levels, the client with the earlier application for services will have priority over later applications for services.
