Applications for the Supplemental Disaster Relief Program (SDRP) must be submitted to a Farm Service Agency (FSA) County Office by April 30, 2026.
Please remind your eligible producers to submit their applications by the deadline. If they do not have an application, they may contact their local FSA office to request one.
What is the SDRP?
The Supplemental Disaster Relief Program will provide disaster relief payments to producers who suffered losses due to qualifying natural disasters in the 2023 and 2024 calendar years.
The program is divided into two stages: Stage 1 will pay producers whose losses were indemnified by federal crop insurance or the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP). Stage 2 will pay producers who did not receive an indemnity (including cases in which the loss was too shallow to trigger a crop insurance claim).
How can a producer apply for payment under the SDRP?
Eligible producers should have received pre-filled applications for Stage 1 in July 2025. Applications were not mailed for Stage 2. Producers may visit their local FSA County Office to receive an application.
In addition to filing an application with the FSA, producers should ensure that they have all the necessary documentation on file. Click here for details, and click here to view answers to frequently-asked questions.
