The notice specified the requirements for filing all claims, as well as the deadlines for filing those claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2021 Losses<\/strong> <br>Losses experienced in calendar year 2021 may be eligible for coverage under LIP. However, all claims for 2021 losses must be filed with the producer\u2019s local FSA office by February 28, 2022. (Click <a href=\"http:\/\/farmers.gov\/service-center-locator\">here<\/a> to locate your local Farm Service Center office).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Losses Experienced After January 1, 2022<\/strong><br>For any losses experienced this year\u2014and in future years\u2014claims must be filed with the local FSA office within 30 calendar days from the ending date of the eligible loss condition. That means producers must file the claims within 30 days of the death loss occurrence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Documentation required for All Claims<\/strong><br>Producers filing claims must provide documentation to support all livestock numbers (including kind and weight) as well as documentation supporting the number of livestock lost or injured due to the adverse condition. Verification of livestock inventory and losses may include, but is not limited to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Business records<br>\u2022 Bank statements<br>\u2022 Photographic evidence<br>\u2022 Veterinarian statements<br>\u2022 Necropses <br>\u2022 3rd party accounts<br>\u2022 FSA field visit<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All claims must include an accounting of the number of animals lost because of Mycoplasma bovis, as well as any documentation of adverse weather events (including drought) during that period. LIP regulations require that eligible losses be connected with an adverse weather event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Background on Livestock Indemnity Program<\/strong><br>The Livestock Indemnity Program provides benefits to eligible livestock owners for livestock deaths in excess of normal mortality caused by eligible loss conditions, including eligible adverse weather, eligible disease and attacks by animals reintroduced into the wild by the federal government or protected by federal law, including wolves and avian predators. In addition, LIP provides assistance to eligible livestock owners that must sell livestock at a reduced price because of an injury from an eligible loss condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Animals eligible for LIP coverage must have been maintained for commercial use as a part of the ranching operation on the day they died, and must not have been produced or maintained for reasons other than commercial use (e.g., hunting, cutting horse training).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LIP payments for owners are based on national payment rates that are 75 percent of the market value of the applicable livestock as determined by the USDA\u2019s Secretary of Agriculture. The National Bison Association has worked with FSA to establish payment rates that reflect the actual market conditions for bison. The table below lists the current reimbursement rates for bison:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bisoncentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/LIP-Bison-Values.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bisoncentral.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/LIP-Bison-Values-1024x205.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34874\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>For More Information<\/strong><br>This fact sheet is for informational purposes only; other eligibility requirements or restrictions may apply.
