Background 

The Risk Management Agency (RMA) issued Manager’s Bulletin MGR-08-003 on February 23, 2008 as a result of the United States Department of Agriculture Office of the Inspector General for Audit (OIG) titled, “2005 Emergency Hurricane Relief Efforts in Florida”. The audit identified instances that involved significant liability amounts where producers did not have or provide inventory records to support their PIVR.

Background

Many state and local areas continue to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and may otherwise be unable to meet certain policy requirements due to concerns of spreading COVID-19. Beginning in March, the Risk Management Agency (RMA) began issuing Manager’s Bulletins to provide program flexibilities in response to COVID-19.
