Memorandum
In the case of E.H. v. Matin, Circuit Court of Kanawha County, case 81-MISC-585, the Department was required by order of the court to complete and file a Medicaid waiver application to provide home and community based services for persons with traumatic brain injuries. To now complete a study for the Legislature's review could place the Department in a posisiton of being unable to comply with the order of the court.
