# §404.1650. Action we will take if a State agency does not meet the standards.


If a State agency does not meet two of the three established threshold levels (one of which must be performance accuracy) for two or more consecutive calendar quarters, we will notify the State agency in writing that it is not meeting the standards. Following our notification, we will provide the State agency appropriate performance support described in §§ [404.1660](/cfr/20/404.1660.md), [404.1661](/cfr/20/404.1661.md) and [404.1662](/cfr/20/404.1662.md) for a period of up to 12 months.
