# §641.495. When must a State compete its SCSEP award?


If a State grantee fails to meet its expected levels of performance for three consecutive Program Years, the State must hold a full and open competition, under such conditions as the Secretary may provide, for the State SCSEP funds for the full Program Year following the determination of consecutive failure. (OAA [§ 513(d)(3)(B)(iii)](/cfr/20/513.md?p=d-3-B-iii)). The incumbent (failed) grantee is not eligible to compete. Other states are also not eligible to compete for these funds. [§ 641.400(b)(2)](/cfr/20/641.400.md?p=b-2).
