(1) The department shall evaluate each application and make a determination as to:
- (a) whether the application is complete and accurate; and
- (b) the amount of the reimbursement.
- (2) If the department is satisfied that an employer's application is complete and accurate, the department will issue the reimbursement subject to funding.
- (3) Because funding is limited, consistent with the department's intent to encourage as many different employers as possible to hire students in high-quality work-based learning opportunities, the department reserves the right to defer reimbursement for multiple students employed by a single employer. In the event of deferral, the department will notify the employer in writing. Applications for which review has been deferred will be considered and evaluated on a quarterly basis as funding allows.
- (4) If the department denies an application for reimbursement, the employer may submit an amended application.
