Background 

FCIC identifies pilot programs as those being tested to determine whether they are accepted by producers as effective and affordable risk management tools and to assure they are actuarially sound.

Background 

Processing of citrus juice in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas generally begins in December when harvest commences and terminates in May when harvest ends. When insured citrus fruit is damaged from December through May, market prices are generally available for settling claims. Market prices are generally unavailable for settling claims when insured citrus fruit is damaged from June through November and citrus juice processing is not in operation.

Background

Many state and local governments have issued “stay at home” orders in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which may preclude agents from meeting with policyholders or potential policyholders to obtain signatures associated with various reporting requirements, written agreements, and the purchase of new coverage or adjustments to current policy elections.
