3. Applicant ineligible under the terms of this chapter;
4. Loss caused by irresponsible act of the applicant, applicant's agent, or member of applicant's business or household;
5. Loss or eligibility unsubstantiated.
C. The following shall result in reduction of payment:
1. Loss partially covered by private insurance;
2. Loss exceeds funding limits of this chapter;
