This factor is being applied to all calculated payments before issuance to the producer. FSA County Offices were authorized to make final payments under this program beginning on February 28, 2000. Applicants may appeal to the county and State FSA committees and to the National Appeals Division. Producers' grazing losses in excess of the maximum grazing loss for the county are not appealable. Formula and matching requirements are not considered under this program.
Payment is made by check or direct deposit after determining applicant eligibility.
There are no reports due for post assistance requirements under this program.

There is no minimum amount of assistance which may be received by an individual applicant. Program is announced through news media and in letters to agricultural producers in the county.
