In accordance with Title I of Subdivision 1 of Division B of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, regarding eligibility for the 2017 disaster assistance, I hereby certify that I have read and understand the crop insurance and NAP coverage requirement as it pertains to the applicable box(es) checked. This statement of understanding shall remain in effect until the earlier of: (1) the year 2025, or (2) cancellation by the Department. This agreement does not supersede or modify any previous requirements to purchase crop insurance or NAP under any other law or program.
1.		I understand that I have applied for a payment under the 2017 Wildfires and Hurricanes Indemnity Program (2017 WHIP) on at least one insurable crop, tree, bush, or vine. In return for receiving a payment under 2017 WHIP for a 2017 and/or 2018 insurable crop(s), trees, bushes, or vines, I am required to purchase crop insurance at a coverage level of at least 60 percent (based on the elected yield percentage multiplied by the elected price percentage) for the first two consecutive crop years with respect to which crop insurance is available, after the enrollment period for 2017 WHIP ends, but no later than 2021 crop year. If crop insurance is not available for such crop(s), I am required to purchase buy-up NAP coverage at a level of 60/100, if available, or basic 50/55 NAP coverage if buy-up NAP coverage is unavailable. I understand that I am also required to file an acreage report for each year NAP coverage is purchased.
2.		I understand that I have applied for a payment under the 2017 WHIP on at least one NAP eligible crop. In return for receiving a payment under 2017 WHIP on such 2017 and/or 2018 NAP eligible crop(s), I am required to purchase buy-up NAP coverage at a level of 60/100, if available, or basic 50/55 NAP coverage if buy-up NAP coverage is unavailable, for the first two consecutive crop years with respect to which NAP coverage is available, after the enrollment period for 2017 WHIP ends, but no later than 2021 crop year. If crop insurance becomes available for such crops, I will be required to purchase crop insurance at a level of at least 60 percent (based on the elected yield percentage multiplied by the elected price percentage) for such crop. Furthermore, with respect to NAP coverage, I understand that I am required to file an annual acreage report for each year NAP coverage is purchased. If I am or would become ineligible for a NAP payment for either or both of the relevant two consecutive years because I exceed the average Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) limitation, then I may meet this requirement by one of two ways: (1) obtain NAP coverage as required above, regardless of my ineligibility for NAP payment; or (2) purchase Whole-Farm Revenue Protection (WFRP) crop insurance at a coverage level of at least 60 percent for the applicable year(s).
By signing this form, I acknowledge that I am required to purchase crop insurance and/or NAP for the first two consecutive crop years for which coverage is available after the enrollment period for 2017 WHIP ends. I will be required to refund my WHIP payment if I fail to meet this requirement.
