Subject: Settlement Agreement with Commonwealth of Virginia Resolving ADA Olmstead Investigation




On January 26, 2012, the Civil Rights Division filed in District Court a Complaint and a simultaneous Settlement Agreement resolving its ADA Olmstead investigation into whether persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Virginia are being served in the most integrated settings appropriate to their needs.

Under the ADA and the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Olmstead v. L.C., individuals with disabilities have the right to receive services in the most integrated settings appropriate to their needs.  The ADA and Olmstead require states to provide people with disabilities the opportunity to live and receive services in the community instead of in institutions.

People interested in finding out more about the ADA, enforcement of the Supreme Court's decision in Olmstead v. L.C., or today’s agreement can access the ADA website at www.ADA.gov or call the toll-free ADA Information Line at 800-514-0301 or 800-514-0383 (TTY).
