The Assignment of Payment form (CCC-36), approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under No. 0560-0183, is a legal instrument used within the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), administered by the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC). It transfers payment rights from the original recipient, known as the assignor, to another party, termed the assignee. The form includes both parties' full legal names, addresses, and tax identification numbers, along with the USDA program name and the payment amount assigned per year.
This assignment of payment form applies to a broad range of USDA agricultural support programs, including Agricultural Risk Coverage (ARC), which provides income support to eligible producers; Price Loss Coverage (PLC), designed to protect against commodity price declines; Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), which supports land retirement and environmental conservation; Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance (NAP); Loan Deficiency Payments (LDP); Marketing Loan Gains; and other Commodity Credit Corporation programs. Each program and year-specific payment amount must be listed separately on the form.
By signing the form, the assignor legally authorizes the USDA to redirect program payments to the named assignee. The assignee agrees to accept the assigned payments subject to all conditions, reductions, and offsets that apply to the original payment. The assignee's payment is subject to all administrative offsets and legal claims against the assignor. Any change in the assignor's program eligibility, payment amount, or FSA program number must be reported immediately to the county FSA office. The form also outlines the revocation process, detailing how an assignment can be terminated by written notice prior to payment issuance.
To complete the legal assignment, both the assignor and assignee must sign the form and submit it to their county Farm Service Agency (FSA) office. The assignment takes effect upon acceptance by the county FSA committee. Both parties should retain a copy of the completed CCC-36 for their records. This form aligns with the Paperwork Reduction Act and USDA privacy standards for agricultural payment management.
