Some applicants are turned down. I don't have the number with me today. The approval rate is quite high. In fact, over 57% reach the cap of $3,400. There are a few reasons applicants are turned down. For one thing, they may have received payments, severance pay, or payments from trustees or from another source. If there is payment from another source, WEPP will not apply.
