Abstract:
The Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief At, 2019 (Disaster Relief Act; Pub. L 116-20) authorized $3 billion in assistance for losses to crops, trees, bushes, and vines due to 2018 and 2019 hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, typhoons, volcanic activity, snowstorms, and wildfires. The Disaster Relief Act requires all participants who receive WHIP+ payments to purchase crop insurance or NAP coverage for the next 2 available years, regardless of whether they had crop insurance or NAP coverage for the applicable crop years for which they are requesting assistance.
Emergency Justfication:
The Farm Service Agency (FSA) is requesting EMERGENCY CLEARANCE because the Secretary directed the FSA to provide disaster assistance through the WHIP+ to eligible producers who suffered crop, tree, bush, and vine losses related to hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, typhoons, volcanic activity, snowstorms, and wildfires occurring in the 2018 and 2019 calendar years. The clearance is necessary because the WHIP+ sign-up begins upon the publication of final rule. ll WHIP+ payments are expected to be completed by December 31, 2020, due to the funds no longer being available.
