SURE assistance can provide benefit payments to eligible producers who have suffered eligible crop losses due to a natural disaster. To be eligible for crop loss assistance, a producer must show that the actual production on the farm for at least one crop of economic significance is reduced for at least 10 percent due to disaster, adverse weather, or disaster-related conditions. Payment limitations apply for SURE. For 2008, no person may receive more than $100,000 total for the 2008 program year under the Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees, and Farm Raised Fish Program (ELAP), Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP), Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP), and SURE. For 2009 and subsequent program years, no person or legal entity, excluding joint ventures and general partnerships my receive, directly or indirectly, more than $100,000 total per program year under ELAP, LFP, LIP and SURE. Producers or legal entities whose average adjusted gross income (AGI) exceeds $2.5 million in crop year 2008 shall not be eligible for benefit payments unless 75 percent or more of the income is from agriculture. For 2009 and subsequent years, the average AGI income cap changes to $500,000 of non-farm income, with no on-farm income cap. SURE assistance will be provided to an eligible producer in the amount equal to 60 percent of the difference between the SURE Guarantee and the total farm revenue. The SURE guarantee for the farm cannot be greater than 90 percent of the total of the normal production of the farm. There are specific eligibility criteria a producer must meet before becoming eligible for assistance. To be eligible, a producer (for all of the farming operation's crops that are planted or intended nationwide) must have obtained a policy or plan of crop insurance such as Catastrophic Risk Protection (CAT) for all insurable crops and/or Non-insured Crop Disaster Assistance Program(NAP) coverage for non-insurable crops that are of economic significance. However, statue does not require coverage for grazed crops for the SURE program. Sales closing dates for insurance and application closing dates for NAP have passed for the 2008 crop year for all insurable and non-insurable crops. A waiver was authorized in Public Law 110-246 to allow producers to pay within 90 calendar days of the enactment, a buy-in-fee to be eligible for Supplemental Agricultural Disaster Assistance for crops for which the producer did not obtain crop insurance or NAP coverage for 2008. The administrative service fee is equal to the lesser of $100 per crop per county, or $300 per producer per county, not to exceed $900 per multi-county producer. The final date for the buy-in fee was September 16, 2008. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), Public Law 111-5, authorized an additional waiver which allows producers another opportunity to pay a buy-in-fee for 2008 Supplemental Agricultural Disaster Assistance. The buy-in fee must be paid within 90 calendar days of the enactment of ARRA. The buy-in fee is $100 per crop, but not more than $300 per producer per administrative county, or $900 total per producer for all counties less any previously paid fees for NAP relief and other buy-in. Producers must buy-in for all non-insurable and insurable crops that are not already covered by NAP, crop insurance, or meet the previous waivers. The fee is nonrefundable and due at the time a producer files FSA-752 and/or FSA-753. Crop insurance and NAP coverage are not a requirement if the producer is considered a Socially Disadvantaged, Limited Resource, or Beginning Farmer or Rancher.
