USDA’s Farm Service Agency will now accept applications for the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program through an online portal.
FSA is also leveraging commercial document storage and e-signature solutions to enable producers to work with local service center staff to complete their applications from home.
We are doing everything we can to serve our customers and make sure agricultural producers impacted by the pandemic can quickly and securely apply for this relief program, said FSA Administrator Richard Fordyce.
Through the portal, producers with secure USDA login credentials can certify eligible commodities online, digitally sign applications and submit directly to the local USDA Service Center.
There are other options prodcuers can use to submit CFAP applications:
- Downloading the AD-3114 application form and manually completing the form to submit to the local USDA Service Center by mail, electronically or by hand delivery to an office drop box.
- Completing the application form using our CFAP Application Generator and Payment Calculator, this Excel workbook allows customers to input information specific to their operation to determine estimated payments and populate the application form, which can be printed, and then signed and submitted to their local USDA Service Center.
New customers seeking one-on-one support with the CFAP application process can call 877-508-8364 to speak directly with a USDA employee ready to offer general assistance. This is a recommended first step before a producer engages the team at the FSA county office at their local USDA Service Center.
All information for the CFAP program can be found HERE.
Call your local FSA office before stopping in to see how they are conducting business at this time.
