Understanding ERP Phase 2 and PARP
USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) has announced two new disaster and pandemic assistance programs. Both programs opened on January 23, 2023, and will run through June 2, 2023. When applying for either program, producers will need to gather supporting documentation including Schedule F (Form 1040), Profit or Loss statements, or similar tax documents for the required calendar years. Other FSA standard forms will be requested — refer to our blog post on FSA Forms to Have on File for more information.
If a farmer wishes to apply for either program, they should contact their local FSA office to confirm which forms they need to complete. And, in the case of ERP Phase 2, farmers should confirm if the losses they experienced were caused by a ‘qualifying disaster event.’
Read below for a quick breakdown of both programs to see if you may be eligible for a relief payment. Check the bottom of the table for links to more information about each program.
