Notes: Table shows the minimum, 25th percentile, 50th percentile (median), 75th percentile, and maximum scores for the distribution of non-beneficiary applicants for the percentage with an IPE (IPE_at) and average time to IPE (WAIT_at) for those with an IPE, both of which were calculated at the agency-month level. Scores are show for all agencies and by OOS status category.
