281—56.8 (259) Waiting list. As required by the Act and 34 CFR 361.36, if the division cannot serve all eligible individuals who apply, the division shall develop and maintain a waiting list for services based on significance of disability. The three categories of waiting lists are as follows, listed in order of priority to be served:
	  1. 	 Individuals with most significant disabilities;
	  2. 	 Individuals with significant disabilities; and
	  3. 	 Other individuals.
An individual’s order of selection is determined by the waiting list and the date on which the individual was deemed eligible for services from the division. All waiting lists are statewide in scope; no regional lists are to be maintained.
Assessment of the significance of an applicant’s disability is done during the process of determining eligibility but may continue after the individual has been placed on a waiting list.
