U.S. Farm Programs: Eligibility and Payment Limits (CRS R46248)

Also, benefits from crop insurance premium subsidies and indemnity payments on loss claims are not subject to any limits.

Explains actively engaged in farming, AGI limits and per-person payment limits. A family farm may qualify for multiple payment limits (a worked example reaches 12 limits and $1.5 million), a partnership's limit equals the single-person limit times its qualifying members, and marketing-loan benefits, crop insurance premium subsidies and indemnities are outside payment limits.

Finding AGR-3.7: Primary record Crop insurance premium subsidies and indemnities have no payment limit and sit outside the actively engaged in farming test. For the programs that apply the test, GAO reported in 2004, 2013 and 2020 that the management standard is broad and that FSA’s compliance reviews were late or not monitored.
