Combined titles II and XVI initial claims accuracy

Title XVI initial processing time
CURRENT PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
Intermediate Level Represents level of performance between the threshold and target levels.
SSA will negotiate annually with the DDS to establish these goals designed to help the State reach target levels.
NOTE: Accuracy threshold refers to the percentage of cases that are not returned to the DDS for further development or correction of decision.
