Additional Emergency Relief Program (July 20, 2022)

July 20, 2022

The producer is only required to purchase 60% or higher on irrigated acreage and may be able to elect a different coverage level on their non-irrigated acreage if allowed by their crop insurance policy. For example, crop insurance allows separate coverage levels by irrigation practice in counties where both the irrigated and non-irrigated practice are separately offered and this may be used to insure irrigated at 60% and non-irrigated at a lower coverage level.

The producer is only required to purchase 60% or higher on standard acreage provided they exclude their high-risk acreage from coverage, insure high-risk acreage as CAT, or elect HR-ACE to insure high-risk acreage at a coverage level less than their standard acreage coverage level.

The producer is only required to purchase 60% or higher on the grape type(s) in which the ERP benefit was received.

FSA is working closely with RMA to identify these and other similar situations so that ERP Phase 1 applications can automatically be generated in late summer 2022.
