FSA Insurance Claims

NAP and WHIP claims have been retroactively denied by FSA, often years after the claim is made. We review the denial and file an appeal on your behalf with the USDA National Appeals Division. Woodhouse Shanahan PA has the experience in USDA's National Appeals Division hearings that you need to navigate the claims the FSA makes for denying your claim.

ARC-PLC Changes

The ARC-PLC Programs is an income support program that provides payments when actual crop revenue declines below a specified guarantee level. The PLC Program provides income support payments when the effective price for a covered commodity falls below its effective reference price. There are 22 covered commodities: wheat, oats, barley, corn, grain sorghum, long grain rice, medium/short grain rice, temperate japonica rice, seed cotton, dry peas, lentils, large and small chickpeas soybeans, peanuts, sunflower seed, canola, flaxseed, mustard seed, rapeseed, safflower, crambe, and sesame seed.

The FSA will dispute the base acres vs. the approved plantings on those base acres, as well as the crop report's accuracy at the time of filing.
