In some implementations, a memory device may receive, from a host device, a single-level cell (SLC) program command instructing host data to be written to one or more subblocks of memory.

The memory device may determine whether to perform a word line leakage monitoring procedure associated with a programming scheme to be used to program the subblock based on whether the word line is associated with the reliability risk.
