Additional CFAP-2 & ERP Payment for Women, Veterans, Beginning or Underserved Farmers

Producers may be eligible for an additional CFAP 2 and/or ERP payment that is equal to 15 percent of the producer’s previous payments, subject to program payment limitation provisions.

Producers that may be eligible include:

  • Beginning farmers who have not operated a farm or ranch for more than 10 years
  • Women
  • Veterans who first obtained veteran status during the most recent 10-year period
  • Minority groups including Native Americans and Alaska Natives
  • Persons under the poverty level

Determinations are based on the 2020 program certification on a CCC-860, which must be on file with FSA. Producers who have not previously certified to their status for the 2020 program year may submit a CCC-860 to be eligible for the additional payment. The deadline to submit a CCC-860 is February 10, 2023.
