The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed whenever a credit is extended, renewed or modified, or when an observable event occurs indicating a potential decline in credit quality, and no less than annually for large balance loans. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings: Special Mention Substandard Doubtful Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans. Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows: Pass Special Mention Substandard Doubtful (In thousands) September 30, 2021 1 – 4 family $ 41,007 $ 3,015 $ — $ — Commercial 376,482 17,977 4,052 — Multifamily 239,334 — 721 — Commercial real estate 49,619 3,818 — — Construction — — — — Consumer 8,651 — — — Total $ 715,093 $ 24,810 $ 4,773 $ — Pass Special Mention Substandard Doubtful (In thousands) December 31, 2020 1 – 4 family $ 45,418 $ 3,015 $ — $ — Commercial 358,295 — 115 — Multifamily 169,096 721 — — Commercial real estate 54,717 — — — Construction — — — — Consumer 34,896 4,163 2,303 — Total $ 662,422 $ 7,899 $ 2,418 $ — The Company considers the performance of the loan portfolio and its impact on the allowance for loan losses. For smaller dollar commercial and consumer loan classes, the Company evaluates credit quality based on the aging status of the loan, which was previously presented, and by payment activity. The Company has no loans identified as TDRs at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Furthermore, there were no loans modified during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 as TDRs. In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. As discussed in Note 1, the Company implemented a payment deferral program in response to the COVID-19 crisis and elected to evaluate the modified loan population under the CARES Act which allows for troubled debt restructuring categorization to be suspended. As of September 30, 2021, there were no participants in the payment deferral program.
