Summary

The Council can stop federal payments to a State after it gives the State agency fair warning and a chance to be heard. If a state changes a previously approved program so it no longer meets the rules, or if it fails to follow the rules when running the program, the Council will notify the agency that no more payments will be made under this subchapter. Payments stay stopped until the Council is sure the problems are fixed and will not recur.
