USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) has started the process of preparing state and county offices for the coming Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP), alerting offices that they may be dealing with producers that have never dealt with the agency previously.
For those growers, FSA offices will need to collect several forms relative to verifying eligibility for CFAP payments, including farm income certifications.
On the key topic of pay caps, FSA said details on that will be issued in the handbook which will cover operation of the program.
The final rule was sent to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) May 5 and it still was listed as being under review as of late Monday.
